IED Attacks from Wikileaks Afghanistan War Logs

IED Attacks as documented in the data leak by from Julian Assange's Wikileaks overlaid on a NATO map of the area.

The green explosions are ones in which no one was hurt, yellow ones are injuries only, and red ones are fatal IEDs. On the death and injury tallies, the left column is friendlies (including both allied forces and civilians), and the right column is so-called "enemies".

BACKGROUND:
A massive leak of over 90-thousand secret U.S. military files has exposed cover-ups over the war in Afghanistan. The classified documents were handed to three newspapers by the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks by Julian Assange. They include reports on the deaths of hundreds of civilians, increased Taliban attacks, as well as NATO fears Pakistan and Iran are backing the insurgency.

MEANWHILE:
DEMOCRATS DEEPLY DIVIDED OVER AFGHAN WAR
A vote by the House of Representatives on emergency funding for the war in Afghanistan has revealed eroding support for President Barack Obama's war policy among members of his own Democratic Party. There were 102 Democrats voting against the $33 billion in war funding. That's more than three times the number of Democrats who voted against a similar funding bill in June 2009.

@4girlsmomjd each blip on the map is an explosion of an IED (Improvised explosive device) on a vehicle. The description of this video has more information.

@thefullmonte2003 Most of the IED will be made from unexploded American Bombs and Artillery Shells

Thanks rage ~ War is money and occupying assets.

Nothing more.

The ignorant serve and die for corporate gain.

The dumbing down of America is at full throttle.

The internet is the only place truth can seep out.

The Obama administration went to the mat to defend its predecessors from a torture prosecution in Spain last year, a leaked State Department cable shows.

The cable, released by WikiLeaks this week, shows that senior US diplomats teamed with Republican lawmakers -- including a former Republican Party chairman -- to put pressure on Spanish officials to drop a criminal investigation into the Bush administration's use of torture.

2006, that's when the popcorn started.

@Mahdiarmy Islam is indeed pretty damn good at conquering nations.

[SagBobet]

@MikeFromTheUK1 It is called the War on Terror so it is assumed that it is to decrease terrorism. even though theyre going about it all wrong.
