Reports: Secret Iraq docs reveal 'war crimes'
The New York Times, the British newspaper The Guardian and Germany's Der Spiegel have published what they say are secret documents about the Iraq war.
The whistleblower Web site WikiLeaks published Friday classified military documents from Iraq war. The release includes nearly 400,000 documents.
CNN was offered access to the documents in advance of the release but declined because of conditions that were attached to accepting the material.
The Guardian reports that the documents outline "torture, summary executions and war crimes." The New York Times reports on Iran's alleged involvement in the war, in addition to several other angles. Der Spiegel introduces its report with this: "The field reports from soldiers cast a new light on the war - documenting in a unique way how the highly armed American military was helpless in the conflict for years."
A group of 120 Department of Defense experts has been poring over hundreds of thousands of "Significant Action Reports" that they expected to be posted to the WikiLeaks site. But even though the classified documents contain the names of Iraqi civilians who have cooperated with the United States, the Defense Department has not warned those Iraqis that their names may soon be posted online.
"We don't want to start notifying people and then find out that their names aren't in any of these documents that are released," Col. David Lapan, a top Pentagon spokesman, said Friday. "Why put people through the trouble and the concern for no reason?" READ FULL COVERAGE OF THE UNFOLDING WIKILEAKS STORY

Dr Bad....I know where she is...but has asked me to keep it a secret for now...she wants to see you
All is fair in Love and War. The only crime in war is losing. We should be giving the people of Iraq and Afganistan blankets. Blankets with small pox........
Think about how difficult it would be to kill someone. Murder is sin. It is the worst sin punishable by an eternity in a lake of fire.
You take an oath to defend your country and suddenly you kill at will if rules of engagement are meet.
Now it gets even harsher. You ask people to identify those who should be captured or killed. Then you identify who has been doing all the identifying.
This is very dicouraging news if you are trying to find more bad guys to kill.
notice how these rude pig fukers ignore what i say or ask?
Dr Bad....I know where she is...but has asked me to keep it a secret for now...she wants to see you as soon as possible

Hoss!
You already told me what I am(even though you don't know)

I get uneasy and nervous whenever I see white men in suits and ties!
Wiki Leaks again?? So who was tortured anyway. If it was the enemy, so??

Well when you make general comments about a race you become a racist.
Like juan did about muslims??
Yay! More race injected where it doesn't need to be! No wonder nothing ever gets done in this country. I say the sane people should throw all the uneducated crazies on an island and see if they can build a thriving society. It could be a centuries long reality show that provides entertainment for the rest of humanity. The dummies of society have been enjoying the fruits of everyone else's labor for a very long time. Its time they repaid the favor by providing entertainment for us. @ Dr Bad. Your nurse is staying at a Jersey Shore beach house.
