Good Luck.
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. military documents about the Iraq War have been made . The confidential material has not been by U.S. officials, it has been leaked by the whistleblower website WikiLeaks. The site started publishing documents related to U.S. operations in Iraq in April. Its latest publishing puts 391,832 files into the domain. It represents one of the biggest of top-secret files ever. WikiLeaks has made the information available to world newspapers. Perhaps the most documents relate to reports that U.S. forces allowed prisoner to take place. Other files document civilian deaths and executions.

WikiLeaks was by Chinese dissidents and journalists in 2006. It “publishes and on leaked documents alleging government and misconduct”. In 2008, it won Amnesty International’s New Media . No one knows who provided WikiLeaks with the documents. An American Army intelligence who served in Iraq was charged with improperly downloading huge of classified files, including those public by WikiLeaks in April. A Pentagon official said of the new leaks: "We condemn the unauthorized disclosure of classified information." He described the reports as "snapshots of , both tragic and mundane [that do not] bring new understanding to Iraq's past”.
