CNN—Oct. 22, 2010– www.cnn.com warlogs.wikileaks.org english.aljazeera.net www.youtube.com www.guardian.co.uk WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange told CNN in an exclusive interview Friday that the roughly 400000 Iraq war military documents released by his organization show “compelling evidence of war crimes” committed by US-led coalition and Iraqi government forces. They detail the deaths of more than 100000 people, he said.Copyright CNN 2010 § 107.Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

Wikileaks has released the docs. Please see the links in the description.
More Bullshit.

war crimes can’t be kept secret
@thesensireport yes you’re right
The documents also appear to show that the US military falsely claimed that there were no official statistics available on the death toll in Iraq. They give a total of more than 109,000 violent deaths between 2004 and the end of 2009.
This includes 66,081 civilians, 23,984 people classed as “enemy”, 15,196 members of the Iraqi security forces, and 3,771 coalition troops.
@thesensireport right apparently the U.S. had the statistics all along…
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – A U.N. investigator called on the world body on Friday to set up a panel to study the ethics and legality of unmanned military weapons — an apparent reference to U.S. drones that strike suspected Islamist militants.
Don’t think the US is too concerned about legality and for damn sure ethics but apparently somebody is
Nothing can shock me anymore.
War criminals do not like their secrets made public! Thanks for posting fal2grace :)
122,000 civilians killed because of 9/11. Oh wait. Iraq didn’t have anything to do with that.
122,000 civilians killed because Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. No.
122,000 civilians killed because Iraq had ties to Al Qaeda. No not at all.
No. No. And No.
The US created Al Qaeda. The US has WMD. The US had, at a minimum, knowledge of what could happen on 9/11.
So then. Why were 122,000 civilians killed? Pure Evil. Terrorism at its finest.
i knew the military did this the moment they invaded.. bush, cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, pearl, boulton, tenent, and many others should spend the rest of their lives in gitmo along with the lying scumbag press secretaries.
Thanks, Deb, I wounder if Nazi Germany would consider the war crimes they where committing classified information? If thier actions are so noble why would they be classified? A little hint to the questions. Most occupying armies aren’t there to help.
if you had to wait for wl to release these docs to figure this out, your late at the party.
Asange better watch his ass… they’re going to take him out!!! I hope he’s careful!
All those documents are needed to prosecute people just like the Nuremberg Trials.
It is always funny to see chosen ones feeding people with stories they created on the first place, but seems to be working for thousand years.
su much leaks that you can hardly can call it info, and when it is no info then it is something else :)
@piwacket33 he better watch his back
@workwillfreeyou great points… thank you
@iknownothingnow Well said. I watched the video from aljazerra…as much as I could… and was speechless.
@magichandpuppet you’re very welcome
@iknownothingnow
Well said, and the 122k figure is also, almost certainly, way too low. I would suggest that at least 1/2 of those civilians and non-combatants (which comprise most of the dead since the invasion) have not bee accounted for due to where they were killed (by drones or aircraft in areas w/o US military support) or b/c their families took them for burial before they were counted (most common).
Lest we forget hundreds of thousands of our collective brothers, sisters & children.
@Eraser7622 Yes. I agree with you. This number is way too low. A terrible tragedy – continues to – unfold.
