On Monday, Wikileaks promised to release information in the near future which is nearly seven times more voluminous than the recent 400,000 documents recently uploaded on its website on the Iraq war; the subject and the date of the release were not specified. The announcement came via Wikileaks' Twitter account.
This announcement comes on the heels of Interpol calling for the arrest on Wikileaks editor-in-chief, Australian Julian Assange, on charges of rape and sexual misconduct. At the same time, WikiLeaks was soliciting funds from its readers asking them for help to stay strong, citing intense pressure in recent months.
In July of this year, WikiLeaks made public 77,000 classified documents on the war in Afghanistan, and followed last month with the Iraq war, publishing over 400,000 incident reports written by US soldiers from 2004 to 2009 dealing mostly with the issue of torture.
Assange has become a thorn in the Pentagon's side, especially since he did not reveal the source of these leaks.
Army Intelligence specialist Bradley Manning came under suspicion, and was arrested in May 2010 after the famous 2007 video of the helicopter air raid in Baghdad which killed civilians. He is being held in prison in the Washington DC area, and if found guilty, faces heavy penalties.
The documents have served the provide the American people answers to some of the questions they cannot get answered from their administration with regard to both wars, - wars which have aggravated the current and ongoing economic recession, and which have plunged America into ceiling high debt.
