Did WikiLeaks information endanger lives?

WikiLeaks, the website that released a video of US troops killing civilians in Iraq has now made headlines around the world for releasing more than 90,000 documents containing information about the war in Afghanistan. While the leak is being called the biggest in intelligence history, it isn't the first time important information relating to an American war has been leaked to the press and public. Neil Sheehan, is a former New York Times reporter who leaked the famous Pentagon Papers that forever changed the American public's perception of the Vietnam War. Sheehan says that Assange could have endangered lives if he failed to delete names of informants in the documents he gave to international news organizations.

NO wikileaks information doesn`t endanger lives at all

WAR and evil governments do

[Doppelgangergang]

The only way the war can endanger more lives is when it is continued. Stop it now, get them all home and start improving your country rather than playing World Police.

Wikileaks is more likely to save lives, as it exposes the lies and distortions that are used to justify war.

@911insidejob81 thank you sir, i had to explain to my parents how it prolly only endangers people because every media outlet says it will.. how is the fact that the government lied about how many civilians they killed gunna endanger citizens? its not, it just gives the citizens and opportunity to call out its government

The US government is a disgrace to the world. The only people who harm peoples lives is the US government sending people to corrupt evil wars.

@OrphanPaper the destruction of true Islamic state in favoring of the puppets Arab's governments or just a money making for the military suppliers that if stopped would require the US a major shift economically and socially

akq is a relatively small group why go hell for leather in a internal political dispute , if they have the intelligence they claim the Us could have the person of interest with out the need of invading, they must feel there is more than Osarma and alq in play ,the isolation of Iran ,?

exposing war crimes is top priority. tell the government to pull out the sources so they are not in danger and then release the information relating to a war crime.
