Fresh from the controversy over thei brelease of journalists under friend-fire from U.S. forces in Afghanistan, WikiLeaks.org has now released more than 91,000 military documents revealing day-to-day operations in the region. And so far, it doesn't look good for U.S. forces who seem to be making little to no progress; military cover-ups; Taliban and Pakistan connections; and much, much more.
Needless to say, the document release is generating a lot of buzz for the site. It has been a Trending Topic for hours and seems likely to remain that way for days as folks sort through the documents and try to determine if WikiLeaks.org is working for the common good or merely trying to get famous...
