| WikiLeaks to Leak 15,000 other US Secret Logs |
| 2010-08-09 |
| [Tolo News] The spokesperson for the WikiLeaks site, Daniel Schmitt said the site is to disclose 15,000 other US military classified logs on Afghanistan. While emphasising on the publication of more US secret documents, Mr Schmitt said WikiLeaks is responsible for the world not for specific individuals or any countries' interest. Pentagon calls the leaked files a serious threat worsening stability and security in the region, especially in Afghanistan, but WikiLeaks commented the publication of these logs help increase the understanding of people on what is going on in the region. "From our prospective, transparency and knowledge about ongoing issues like war are the only things that can help to create something remotely like safety, so they will directly contribute to the public understanding what is going on in these regions. And from public scrutiny hopefully also influence the politics to develop in a better way." "I can assure that we will keep publishing documents, that is what we do, so there will be more publications in the future," he said. The WikiLeaks highlighted that there are reports that Pentagon is against the leak of the secret files, but it hasn't been contacted directly or indirectly by the US Defence Department. "We have not been contacted at all even though rumours about upcoming publications have been in the air quite a while," he said. During the last month, the whistle blower WikiLeaks website unveiled some 92,000 US military classified files and the documents significantly shed light on the Afghan civilian deaths in the conflict and the Pakistan Spy organisation's relations with the Taliban insurgents. |

| #7 These people should be told in no uncertain terms that they ARE going to be held responsible for the consequences of their actions. If people die due to the deliberate acts of Wikileaks, then the Wikileaks people should die just the same. |

| #4 Treason and espionage are still crimes even for this justice department. Shut down the operation and arrest everyone who has touched the information. |

| #3 Mr Schmitt said WikiLeaks is responsible for the world not for specific individuals or any countries' interest. You see, we answer to a higher power. But, Mr Schmitt, you and your cohorts are personally responsible for each and every death caused by your leaks. Not that that every bothers people like you. |
