Wikileaks

Summarizations of the latest bunch of WikiLeaks documents—291,832 of them, leaked from the Pentagon’s secret archives on the Iraq war—are now up on several web sites, including the New York Times and Britain’s Guardian. I’m still amazed by how few people care that many human beings have been killed and will die because of these leaks. Anyway, one big finding is that, at least according to the Pentagon’s secret report, most Iraqi civilian deaths were caused by other Iraqis. The report calculates 31,780 Iraqis killed by roadside bombs and 34,814 by sectarian killings (notated as “murders”). Sorry, all you anti-American folks; not all the bad guys are American GIs.
