Afghanistan War Logs

July 26th, 2010 IBabel No comments

A massive cache of secret US military files released by Wikileaks to selected newspapers provides a devastating portrait of the  war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents, attacks by Taliban groups have soared and also how NATO commanders fear that Pakistan and Iran are fuelling the insurgency.

Regardless of your personal opinion of the conflict in Afghanistan or of the leaking of these papers, the material released should be studied. One of the best summarisations of the material can be found at the Guardian’s website:
