WikiLeaks Leaks classified information

Jakes, By Lara. "US: Enemies Searching WikiLeaks Iraq Papers  | Ajc.com." Atlanta News, Sports, Atlanta Weather, Business News | Ajc.com. Atlanta Journal Constitution, 26 Oct. 2010. Web. 26 Oct. 2010. <http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/us-enemies-searching-wikileaks-692132.html>.


Wiki Leaks has just put up 77,000 (classified)  Afghanistan war logs  for the public to veiw. you can see them here http://warlogs.owni.fr/. The Pentagon has gotten messages from groups that say they are using this information to plot against them. CNN says that the Documents did not put troops at risk since no names were disclosed. a spokesperson of the pentagon David Lapan says that Wiki Leaks may have even more information that the government doesn't know about.  


i chose this article because i thought that it was interesting that a website could have such a large impact on the us army when no major hacking was done. also i really like conspiracys since they are interesting from the beginning to the end

this is important to know beacuase it shows how loosely controlled the flow of information is in the U.S. it also shows how much control the internet has over the world. also since the people who got the information were not professional computer hackers what if someone wanted to find more documents and was a experienced hacker?

also in my link just copy paste the link into google and only one will come up
