We should remember what happen in Vietnam. It degenerated Vietnamese but also a generation of young Americans. From 1970 to 1972, I lived in Denver Colorado and was the friend of several veterans of that war in a Karate club. What I was told and saw, was often inhuman and the proof that US decisions-makers don't give a damn about peoples; starting with their own. Nothing has changed. So, unless the American people wake up and make the necessary changes, there is little chance for a better World's governance. The other World's leaders (including Russian) are too "chicken"to tell the whole mankind, the real facts...Sorry Future Generations: Your friend: Jean-Claude Meslin

35 minutes ago. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - WikiLeaks released nearly 400,000 classified U.S. files on the Iraq war on Friday, some detailing gruesome cases of prisoner abuse by Iraqi forces that the U.S. military knew about but did not seem to investigate. Assange told Al Jazeera television the documents had provided enough material for 40 wrongful killing lawsuits. "There are reports of civilians being indiscriminately killed at checkpoints ... of Iraqi detainees being tortured by coalition forces, and of U.S. soldiers blowing up entire civilian buildings because of one suspected insurgent on the roof," WikiLeaks said in a statement. In one 2007 case, according to the documents, an Apache helicopter killed two Iraqis suspects who had made signs that they wanted to surrender. The document said, "They can not surrender to aircraft and are still valid targets." It can be seen here: http://warlogs.wikileaks.org/id/E8DE9B9F-E468-B587-E4B332C09FF48BE2/ Although the Iraq conflict has faded from U.S. public debate in recent years, the document dump threatens to revive memories of some of the most trying times in the war, including the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal.

I am ashamed to be an American. The entire Iraq episode was based on lies, trumped up intelligence and cover-ups. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are the main culprits. The Blackwater thugs appear to be avoiding prosecution as well. Don't tell me to leave either, I am staying right here. All of these plans of war were written before 911. I hate to say it but unfortunately, the United States government has become the largest terrorist organization in the world. It's a sad day for this country. The Pentagon is undermining the US constitution of America, as well as all of its parasitic, egotist supporters. The US IS being invaded by millions, and the darn Pentagon does NOTHING! Too busy worring for foreign war profiteers in Iraq & Afghanistan to take care of THIS nation's borders, or building THIS nation.

Just a moment hear this loud and clear. America has the fudder of internationals since the end of world war 2 and is being used by the central weapon dealers of europe. So people get your history right and find out the real truth.

The destruction of Vietnam, for example, was committed to demolish popular support for the Viet Minh government that was set to take power from the American terrorist puppet regime in a legitimate election. The U.S. readily swapped out any military general or political puppet that advocated a diplomatic solution, ensuring that nobody would put their large-scale terrorist operation (that was apparently doomed for failure) in jeopardy until their elites had their fill of indigenous massacre. Also, when reading about U.S. involvement in Mexico and South America, replace "counterinsurgency training" with "terrorism training," and "small helpless centrist government" with "right-wing military terrorist dictatorship," and you should get a pretty clear picture even excluding the more direct U.S. contras and coups.

I find this article to be full of Russian propaganda & lies. The USA never has used chemical weapons in Iraq.

I don't like how the Pentagon say's the records had to be stolen (as reported recently through their proxy corporate media minions voices) counter to providing a minuscule of half-baked slice of public oversight, and even it carries a monkey on it's back e.g. now these doc's are "stolen." Clearly Pentagon is corrupt if this data has been across their desk once. Yet, I also don't condone the stealing if you took an oath and were active. Which is why I think the Pentagon, DOD, everyone in government needs a security clearance check. And it's time to compare the activity to the date and existing law. Then Constitution would instantly be non-intermittent.

"I find this article to be full of Russian propaganda & lies. The USA never has used chemical weapons in Iraq." White phosphorus is a chemical weapon when used in specific instances. It sure ain't pretty.Then we've got the use of mark 77 "incendiary" bombs which should be called by what they really are: a more advanced version of napalm. Then there's DU rounds, which falls under the radiological category. Or are you going to tell us the vastly increased rates of cancer are Russians propaganda and lies as well?

Let us have a white paper and those responsible must be punish.

Two Questions: First regarding Germany in the 1930's Second regarding America 2010 1. How could the German People - as a Society - each and every one of them - stand by and allow the Nazi Party and its supporters proceed with the extermination of the Jews? The German people knew what was taking place.. There is no doubt about that. The herding of their neighbors -Jewish Citizens into German Railway Cars- and a send off to the camps - was right there to be seen. No mass protests by the German People. No uprising. A crime was committed against humanity by German Society - each and every one of them. 2. How can the AMERICAN PEOPLE do exactly the same? Americans know what is going on in Iraq. Mass communications and the internet brings the story home to Americans. Iraqi's don't need to be living next door - as in 1930's Germany for Americans to know what is taking place in Iraq. They fully know what they as a people are doing - their military - fellow citizens are doing on behalf of all American Citizens. Americans have access to information and they know subliminally, if you will, what is taking place in Iraq with or without Wikileaks.. They cannot pretend otherwise- each and every one of them yet they have "turned a blind eye" to the situation - and do absolutely Nothing. Nothing. The American people (100% of the population) proceeds to commit a crime against humanity - no doubt about that. To amend a quote from an enormously favorite and widely read American "Guidebook" that guides so many Americans in living an upstanding and "righteous" life: "Forgive them for they (brainwashed sheep refusing to take responsibility for their inaction and the actions of their military - their "sons and daughters") know not (pretend to know not )what what they do"

Three or four supporting items of evidence is sufficient - items such as articles you've read, documents you personally have or know of, reports, films, credible television reports etc. will suffice in providing supporting documentation to your statement. Without that, you have not made a valid claim. Period. Ouija Boards, Magic 8 Balls, Fox News, Hearsay, American Propaganda,Vivid Dreams, Personal Propaganda, Visions, your High School Math Teacher's opinion, neighbors and apparitions do not qualify as supporting documentation. a curious fellow American Citizen and Resident of the USA Please include your knowledge (as you are obviously fully informed about weaponry) - an outline is fine - of the specific weapons that are in fact being used by your Country to murder the citizens of Iraq. It seems the issue might just boil down to what type of weapons are being used - rather than the umbrella term of "weapons". "Weapons of Mass Destruction" has already been used. Scratch that. Wrong side. Please limit your response to weapons of "NotMass Destruction"

I wonder where the illustrious Mr. Julian Assange (or whatever his name is) gets his information?  Or Should his site not be called "Wikileaks" but "AlQaida" leaks??  Too bad the British Judge had No Balls and let him out of prison!  The guy should have been prosecuted for his sex crimes in Sweden then brought to trial in the US as a terrorist spy!  (he looks like a diddler anyway!)

see the USA needs to be put on trial for WAR CRIMES and have a no fly zone put over it
