Gates: Leaked documents don't reveal key intel, but risks remain
Found on CNN on Sunday, 17 October 2010
The online leak of thousands of secret military documents from the war in Afghanistan by the website WikiLeaks did not disclose any sensitive intelligence sources or methods, the Department of Defense concluded.
But a senior NATO official in Kabul told CNN that there has not been a single case of Afghans needing protection or to be moved because of the leak.
It's always like that: first make a huge fuss to justify any action you want to take, then correct yourself and present the real truth. That already worked well when reasons for invading Iraq were needed.
