Afghan Intel Leaks Endangers Hundreds of Afghan Lives

The Times (U.K.) is reporting that the WikiLeaks disclosure of more than 90,000 secret documents immediately placed hundreds of Afghani lives in danger. The paper reported that those whose names are mentioned in the documents as informants working with NATO forces are at risk of being killed by the Taliban. The Times disputed the claim by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who said that 15,000 documents were not released because they contained the names of informants, reporting that Times staff had discovered dozens of such names with very little effort. The violence continued in Afghanistan on Wednesday morning when twenty more people died when a roadside bomb exploded beneath a crowded bus. 27 others were wounded.
