U.S. Government Needs to Prepare for Coming Leak of Damaging Video
The U.S. government needs to brace itself for an outcry in Afghanistan and around the world. WikiLeaks, a website founded by an Australian ex-hacker named Julian Assange and devoted to releasing secret information regardless of consequence, is expected to release videotape of a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan last year that will be framed as a deliberate or reckless massacre of civilians. Expect protests, condemnations, and outrage — expressions of anti-Americanism that Assange and his cohorts are trying to provoke.
WikiLeaks claims it is receiving 10,000 documents from its sources each day. Notably, the biggest leaks paint the U.S. as an imperialist war-monger without regard for civilian casualties. Assange does this in the name of “radical democracy” where the free flow of information, even of a sensitive nature, educates the public. He has spoken at an anti-capitalist event called the World Social Forum in Kenya and he lives a life of secrecy, hopping from location to location, assisted by Iceland’s decision to become a safe haven for sources for leaks, passing legislation partially drafted by Assange.
Assange is expecting to soon release video of what he calls “the Garani massacre,” a U.S. aistrike in Garani, Afghanistan, which he claims “killed over 100 people, mostly children.” The airstrike caused uproar and undermined support for the U.S. and the government. Before the video is released, edited and with commentary meant to paint the U.S. in the worst possible light, the media need to revisit the facts surrounding the incident.
The battle began when the Taliban attacked Afghan law enforcement. One police officer was captured, a cop car was set ablaze, and the police found themselves overwhelmed. The Taliban hid in fields for cover, knowing full well that civilians were now placed in a combat zone. The Afghan army intervened, only to find themselves also in need of assistance. The U.S. was called in, and the military dispatched a B-1 bomber and two F-18 jets to strike three targets from which the Taliban was firing.
Afghan officials estimated that the bombings killed 140 civilians while the country’s top human rights group said the number was 97. Another Afghan study put the number at 86. The U.S. military says that 20 to 30 civilians and 60 to 65 militants were killed. The number of civilian casualties caused by the U.S. military is often exaggerated in war zones. In Pakistan, for example, a U.S. review found that fewer than 30 civilians have been killed in the CIA’s drone strikes, a sharp difference from the Pakistani media reports of over 600.
Regardless of the discrepancy in numbers, civilian deaths are always a tragedy. The U.S. military investigated the incident and did find that mistakes were made in carrying out the attacks. Mainly, the B-1 bomber lost positive identification of its target for a time because of the route it had to take. However, the military did not conclude that these errors were the cause of the civilian casualties. “[T]he guys on the ground who are involved in this incident took great pains to limit civilian casualties, to target those who had attacked them,” the Pentagon’s press secretary said.
The U.S. military believes that at least some of the civilian casualties were caused by the Taliban’s grenades and the death toll includes militants. It is also suspected that some of the names of those killed are fraudulent. The Afghan government paid $2,000 to the relatives of those killed and $1,000 for each person injured, which is described by NPR as “a small fortune” for Afghans. It is more than most of them earn in years. It should be expected that people will try to take advantage of these handouts by providing false names.
Don’t expect any of these factors to be included in the WikiLeaks video. The website received global attention recently when it released a video called “Collateral Murder” showing a U.S. helicopter allegedly killing Iraqi civilians without regard. The clear bias in the video caused Stephen Colbert, the host of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, to break character in order to confront Julian Assange over his anti-American propaganda.
The strike occurred in a stronghold of the Mahdi Army, the Iranian-backed militia that attacked U.S. and Iraqi forces and engaged in sectarian violence. The streets were empty, indicating a battle had occurred, and the Apache intervened after gunfire was reported. Some of the so-called civilians were carrying weapons, and although a camera was mistaken for an RPG, such a weapon was found at the scene. The van fired on in the video originally dropped personnel off to the scene of the firefight and was picking up bodies and weapons. A video putting the scenes in context can be seen here.
The Pentagon is reportedly looking to question Assange, resulting in his cancellation of a speaking engagement in Las Vegas recently. Bradley Manning, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst with top secret clearance stationed near Baghdad, has been detained after he privately boasted of sending 260,000 classified diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks that would expose “almost-criminal back dealings” and give Secretary of State Clinton a heart attack. Assange denies receiving the material, but an American diplomat says that Manning had access to documents written by State Department officials in the Middle East regarding the activity of Arab governments. The cables also had information related to U.S. intelligence and diplomacy related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If it is true that these cables were sent to WikiLeaks, there could be disastrous consequences for national security. Secret arrangements with Arab allies could be jeopardized, and information could be taken out of context to fan anti-Americanism. Allies will refuse to share intelligence and stop cooperating out of a fear that the operations will be exposed. We’re talking about long-term damage, not a short-term public relations disaster.
The Pentagon should prepare for Assange’s release of the video depicting the May 2009 airstrike in Afghanistan now. Details putting the incident in the proper context need to be released before WikiLeaks can write an anti-American narrative that takes hold in the minds of the global audience the video will reach. Julian Assange’s political offensive must be fought.

If he’s coming to America, snag him, try him as a spy, and execute him.
Problem solved.
War is a tragedy. Massacres happen and the enemy uses civilians as womens skirts to hide behind. Facts are facts. I don’t see this as damaging for the U.S. This kind of low life behavior from the “people” of this decent is well documented, cultural and pervasive. We see it in Gaza at the present, also.
I’d follow it with a clip of those jumping from the WTC to avoid burning to death. The Taliban gave safe harbor to those murderers. Wars are ugly things, and combatants are not the only people who die. This was not premeditated mass murder.
Shorter answer, “too bad for you.”
Welcome to the no end and no win war. The fact is that we are now in a situation were in order to attack an enemy made up of the indigenous population we have to kill innocent civilians (but, apparently only at acceptable levels). But, not to worry — we have now made more life long enemies of the surviving family members and friends of the innocent civilians that were killed. The last video of the defacto execution of the reporter was classified only because it exposed the truth about the deadly attack (rather than the cover story used by the government to paint the reporter as a terrorist). Our tactics and methods are flawed and prone to these types of errors. We are burying our mistakes, flawed tactics and illegal activity under the cloak of classification markings.
Damage to national security? No — only damage to a flawed foreign policy strategy and a disastrous execution of the war that should have been over within a few months of our entry.
You know something. Leftards have been making the same claims since the days of the first Gulf War. And they still don’t have a shred of evidence to back up their beliefs.
The fact is that we are now in a situation were in order to attack an enemy made up of the indigenous population we have to kill innocent civilians (but, apparently only at acceptable levels).
Isn’t it terrible that for the first time in human history we end up killing civilians when we destroy the enemy’s war-fighting ability?
I wish we could go back to the days of World War II, for example, when we never harmed a single hair on the head of any German or Japanese civilian. Ah, those we the days, when we had the moral upper hand!
There is an easy way to end the conflict in Afganistan, that is to name certain zones as free fire zones. Get the populations of those zones time to evacuate. Call everyone left in the zones an enemy combatant and take the appropriate action.
Here is a side note. Anyone complaining of this action should be taken on an aircraft and delivered to such a zone so that he or she could take the appropriate actions deemed by their high moral standards. That would end both problems.
If there were any functioning gonads in the CIA or its socialist masters, this guy would long ago had his carbon footprint reduced to zero.
Some of the traitors of the New York Times and their leakers should have led the way. They have cost innumerable American lives…one would have been enough. Unless one has a connection to Israel, any secure material can be leaked with impunity in this government. This has to change and there is really only one effective way to do it.
According to the Washington Post, Mr. Manning himself has stated about the Garani bombing video that it’s “not nearly as damning” as the so-called Collateral Murder video. Considering that the Collateral Murder video wasn’t the least bit damning, when viewed in context with all the pertinent facts, I’m not at all concerned about this latest potential leak.
The U.S mistakenly killed some civilians during a war. Horrors. Is this the same U.S. which gave blood and treasure to liberate 28 million Iraqis? Warmonger? There’s nothing to monge from Iraq and Afghanistan except the hope they will join the modern world and not use that 7th century rip-off religion to justify attacks on western civilization. These wars are altruistic and yet necessary if we are to stem the rise of Islamism.
The liberation of Iraq is the most generous thing one nation has ever done for another. Given that the CIC was then a Republican the Democratic Party media needed to portray every mis-step during that war as the work of at best a stupid bumbler or at worst an evil moron. So now with their man in charge – a man who demonstrates his uncaring incompetence on a daily basis – what do they do? Every mis-step in Afghanistan presents our incompetent media with a real dilemma. It’s too late to truthfully describe the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan as that would risk revising the fixed characterization of the demon Bush, which has proven very useful to the fortunes of the Democratic party.
To Terry Gain:
Is this the same U.S. which gave blood and treasure to liberate 28 million Iraqis?
“To liberate 28 million Iraqis”!!! You’re kidding, right?
No they aren’t kidding. They were liberated from Saddam Hussein and voted in the gov’t of their choice. Is it perfect. No. Is it better? Ask an Iraqi.
Un-friggin-believable — “liberation” had squat to do with why the US invaded. And as far as what the Iraqis think of that clusterf*ck of lies, destruction, and death, you might try asking them.
You’re right, of course. Iraqis much preferred mass graves, murders, exiles, imprisonment without trial, public executions, torture, hurling blindfolded victims off buildings and getting it all on video… the Iraqi national athletes loved getting their feet burned with cigarettes as incentive to perform better in international competitions.. And let’s not forget how great it was for Marc Rich, a bunch of French officials, and George Soros, that Saddam was using oil vouchers as bribery..
oh, and the Kuwaitis loved that man too.
yep, it was paradise. What was Bush thinking?
BC. Is that Beyond Clueless? You are easily the stupidest person to regularly comment here.
Imagine if we had reporters like this during world war 2. We would all be lampshades today.
Lol! Or book covers, or chairs in Himmler’s attic.
The problem is that the non-classified stuff already out there doesn’t make for a pretty picture. It was a major military botch that apparently resulted in some sort of shake-up, with the Bush era rules of engagement replaced with somewhat less idiotic ones. I wonder if the video is the one that Pentagon was going to release but then, as described in that Wired link, changed its mind.
What’s telling from Assange’s appearance on ‘The Colbert Report’ is his lengthy silences between responses in regards to Colbert’s questions. Rather than confidently respond, Assange is visibly careful before responding.
IMO, that type pf response is someone who has little confidence in his/her product and/or realizes his propoganda machine had been exposed.. by a comedian/t.v. personality!
Either way, Assange can be a dangerous person for the useful idiots to admire.. $150K donations for 20 minutes of missing footage! The donors are frighteningly stupid.
@Miriam Rove
I know you’ll be reading this. And be outraged
This is an example of collateral damage. This is not terrorism. Write this down, there will be a pop quiz tomorrow.
The good guys the American military is fighting for democracy (Something you say yourself you would like in Iran) in Afghanistan. The enemy who is fighting for oppression and dictatorship is attacking the good guys while hiding among civilians. The blame should be on the enemy that is hiding among civilians.
This is the distinction you do not have the intellectual capacity to understand. And the reason your home country Iran will never become democratic.
Nice spin. People, you are tragically brainwashed. From one side of your mouth you speak for defending Democracy. From the other you speak against the ones who actually do defend it. If it were your parents, children, grandparents, friends, or other loved ones killed as “collateral damage” you’d be singing a different tune, no doubt. Read up about the natural gas pipeline UNOCAL had been wanting to build through Afghanistan many years before 9-11. Read up on how the Bush Administration had already developed plans to attack Afghanistan months before 9-11. Fight on, Christian soldiers, on behalf of corporate profits, bigotry, censorship, and the support of dictators willing to make deals with us. And while you’re at it, ask yourself how Christian it is to think yourself better than somebody else simply because he or she might be a Muslim.
This world is full of liars. It’s full of people acting in their own selfish interests. You really ought to get your news from other sources besides only the ones that are owned by corporations with huge financial interests in defense industries.
Excellent parody of a raving leftist dope. Bravo!
You have access to the internet in a sanitarium?
Nice try, but no cigar. All the items you list have been “known” for decades, not since 9-11 or Bush. The newest “reason” for outrage is all the Lithium deposits in Afghanistan-something we’ve known about, again, for years.
Yeah, not much to see here. Call me chauvinistic, but I’m more concerned with our casualties. Last night on some PBS program, they had a twenty minute feature on two young women who so far, have stuck with their brain-injured vet husbands through a couple years of rehab. Neither guy can move or talk; one recently had a breakthrough when he said “AH” four times in a row on command. The glimmer of light is that both women have bonded incredibly with each other, but now will go their separate ways with their husbands in tow. The program is part triumph of loyalty to making a commitment and the human spirit, and part, “what the hell are we exposing these guys to?” I’m not breaking any news here, but we can now save a lot of these badly brain-injured guys. Some make progress, as we saw in one family when the guy’s parents sold their house and moved into an apartment on their son’s disability payments, so they they could pay for earlier tratment and care for him. I think his wife and child lived in the same apartment. We saw him torturously making his way into the water at a beach under his own power but with his parents supporting him; even that was amazing advance from where he had been. He could sort of talk with a voice box on which he could hit certain pre-recorded tabs with his terribly contorted hands. Of the other two guys, both could blink, but not in a way which responded to conversation and one could say “ah.”
I know that we have always had wars, and probably always will, but what we are gaining as opposed to what we are losing in wars like Iraq and Afghanistan…. bothers me. I’ll let it go at that.
I think that you can see the program here:

For some reason, those on the left actually belives that it is possible for the United States to fight a war without a single civilian casualty.
On the other hand, for our enemies, it doesn’t matter how many civilians they kill, it will always be excused.
Actually, Mark, the “progressive” Left fully realizes that it’s impossible to fight wars with zero civilian casualties — which is why they are “anti-war” altogether. Yet they love these kinds of civilian casualty stories because such stories reaffirm the morally superior status progressives claim due to their anti-war stance, and give them ammunition (as it were) in opposing any military activity whatsoever. “See what wars and fighting lead to?” they simplistically bray, “The killing of innocent people!!” The rational concept of trade-offs is replaced by their embrace of complete risk aversion and a holier-than-thou philosophy of non-violence.
In their minds, if we could just “progress” human nature to the point where we could resolve all our differences with those poor misunderstood “enemy combatants” by sharing a latte and employing touchy-feely modern “conflict resolution” chit-chats, why, there’d be no need for armies and soldiers and violence of any kind, don’tcha know.
Ridiculous, of course — but believe me, there are actually dipsh*t utopian “progressives” out there who think along those exact lines; my father-in-law being one of them.
Unfortunately, my daughter is another. Hopefully, with age comes wisdom.

“a disastrous execution of the war”
A disaster for the enemy, not for us.
“that should have been over within a few months of our entry.”
Yeah, we could have done it that way. Invaded Afghanistan, killed as many Taliban and Al Qaida as we could, then pulled out and said “We don’t care who runs Afghanistan, we’re not going to spend one cent modernizing this craphole, we came here to punish, and now we’re pulling out, but if America gets attacked again, we’ll be back with strategic nuclear weapons…and there won’t be any more Afghanistan”.
That would work for me.
sounds good to me. “joker rewrite that story sounds bad, they are not innocent civilians, they are taliban supporters.
War is dirty. No one is going to give a rodent’s behind.
“For some reason, those on the left actually belives that it is possible for the United States to fight a war without a single civilian casualty.”
It’s funny, they had a slightly different POV when we were fighting in WWII and a lefty was running America, AND we were fighting on the same side as the communists.
BC, what is ‘somewhat less idiotic’. There is no degree to idiocy.
As for your reference to a WSJ over a year old, this is actually a step up for you in ‘reference material’. I was hoping for something from Lindsay Sheehan, Code Pink or some other source.
Thoug I must enquire. Why didn’t you give the FULL story? You know, the one where more than 1/3 of U.S. soldiers deaths in Afghanistan have been under Obama’s ‘watchful’ eye.
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/61811
Try http://www.icasualties.org for your numbers, bub. This way, you won’t sound so idiotic.
Then again, your WSJ reference i nessence is idiotic as well. The Obama administration disclosing to the public that enemy combatants won’t be fired upon if in civilian areas. Obama and his Chicago crew just gave the enemy more incentive to shoot, blend amongst the innocent masses with little fear of being fired back upon.
Yep, ‘Greeeeeaaaaat strategy’. Obama usurper ’til the end..
Has Obie gone to any military funerals since elected?
BTW, Orly Taetz has a new video on the web that shows his Kenyan (Mombasa) birth certificate. It looks quite real.
And Dwight, you receive a standing ovation and top left shoulder pat for VOLUNTARILY watching a PBS program in its entirety.
It should be considered an Olympic event..
There’s a fair amount of good stuff of PBS, but hen you already know that.
I watch the McGlaughlin Report almost every week, and often a couple other of their Friday night shows, especially if Laura Ingram is subbing for O’Reilly. Of course, I watched all of the Civil War and The War and a number of other PBS specials.
Anyway, I want to know how the PBS make-up folks with McGlaughlin can make Monica Crowley look a lot more hot than Fox does. One would expect the opposite.
This whole thing is an absurdity because we have let people who are maliciously unprofessional frame all the issues and characterize events.
On our highways where people are trying their best to act in a prudent and safe manner we kill tens of thousands of people every year. In a war, where weapons are powerful, with seconds to decide, where ordinance is dropped at velocity and from heights, sometimes at night where a wrong decision can cost you your life and maybe worse the life of someone depending upon you and your leadership I am being told some ‘innocent’ folks are being killed.
A short trip down memory lane and we find that first we were to step into dangerous violent situations but none of our people were to be killed e.g. Lebanon. The next iteration was we were to fight, conquest in mind, but none of the enemy were now to be killed “if at all possible” e.g. Iraq one and two. Civilians? Does it seem to anyone else that women and children in these regions seem to be injury magnets? Just wondering.
But the right question to be asking when these episodes come up is, “Compared to what?” Lots of people in lots of wars have been killed and their deaths were a tragedy but a tragedy compared to what? Shall we throw ourselves on to the mercy of the most ruthless because we don’t want to “hurt” anybody? Shall we?
Further, those that are so critical of command decisions, have they commanded, have they demonstrated better or have they, with a full night’s sleep, with their feet propped up on their desk with time to pick every luncheon morsel from every tooth concluded that someone else somewhere has made a mistake and by golly they are going to cry out, “Hold, enough!”
Buddies if someone with real world leadership doesn’t get into some position to direct things our grand-children will be living in a way different country and world than we know now. Take a look, a real world wide look and at history. Is liberal democracy going to be brief a experiment, a tiny blip on the radar of human history; those that were given, too timid to hold?
Well said, Peter!
I’m waiting for this leakmeister to start selling his wares. Then I think his life will get much more interesting.
I, for one, would like to know if the B-1 bomber was the major cause.
Using a B-1 here sounds like Military Industrial Complex attempts to keep the B-1 Bomber gravy train going, like its show off stuff over Baghdad.
The Geneva Convention clearly states that if non uniform wearing fighters hide among civilians the non uniform wearing fighters are the ones responsible for the civilian deaths. This common sense approach is clearly beyond the grasp of the anti-Americans around the world, and that includes almost all of the media around the world.
Many of those commenting on the article seem to think that since the military made some effort to reduce civilian casualties, the death of these civilians is unfortunate but not a real cause for outrage. I can’t agree. These were people trying to go about their lives in their own homes. When an individual goes to a persons home and kills them, it is murder. When the killer works for the U.S. government, it is still murder. Any act that is immoral for an individual acting alone is just as immoral for an individual acting on orders from the state. I believe that the people of the United States have distanced themselves from the reality of war. Perhaps these videos will give them a better idea of what they are getting for their money.
I love when people are afraid to question the actions of their government. The people posting comments about Julian Assange being a traitor or spy should first know he’s Australian so therefore being a traitor is out of the question, and he never worked for or claim to work for any of the multitude of corrupt governments and multinational corporations he and wikileaks have exposed, meaning he is not a spy. When corporations and governments refuse to follow laws, or constitutions, and offer no redress for offenses to their consumers and citizens, then they become very dangerous. Think for yourselves, and more importantly, READ. They own all frequencies…
“Many of those commenting on the article seem…blah, blah”
The issue isn’t whatever you’re babbling about. The issue is Assange engaging in espionage against the United States while were trying to fight a war against people who take American children captive and then tear them limb from limb by flying them into the sides of buildings, and he ought to be tracked down and exterminated like the freaking insect that he is.
He’s the enemy as much as Al Qaida is. Kill him.
End of story.
“. many, who should know better, think that wars can be decided by soulless machines, rather than by the blood and anguish of brave men.”
“In war the only sure defense is offense,
and the efficiency of the offense depends on the warlike souls of those conducting it.”

Is Obama a warlike soul?
Obamas General thinks he is a fool.
how do you think brave combat soldiers
feel?
Look for more civilian deaths.
With leaders like ours,
you become an animal with fear and hatred.
Considering the anti-Americanism of the current occupant of the White House and most of the cRats in Washington, I’d say there’s a 50-50 chance the source of anything damaging to the war effort could be coming from inside the adminstration itself. Dems have been trying to lose this war ever since it started. They don’t care how many lives it costs, when 90 pct of the soldiers are likely to vote Republican.
“The people posting comments about Julian Assange being a traitor or spy should first know he’s Australian so therefore being a traitor is out of the question…”
Baloney.
Assange is guilty of treason under Australian law.
Whether or not they want to prosecute him is up to them.
“Section 80.1 of the Criminal Code, contained in the schedule of the Criminal Code Act 1995, defines treason as follows:”
“A person commits an offence, called treason, if the person:…”
“(f) engages in conduct that assists by any means whatever, with intent to assist:”
“(i) another country; or”
“(ii) an organisation;”
“that is engaged in armed hostilities against the Australian Defence Force”
He’s a spy…and, he’s a stone cold traitor.
” If he’s coming to America, snag him, try him as a spy, and execute him.
Problem solved.”
When the government labels you a terrorist for not towing the line.
Snag you, try you as a terrorist, and execute you.
You are going to be a threat to civilian peace and the order.
Can’t blame Bush for this one. It’s Barry’s fault.
“U.S. Government Needs to Prepare for Coming Leak of Damaging Video”
Now that’s a convoluted headline, considering our present reality.
Our present government (which is the only one we ever have) probably is delighted at the prospect of a “damaging video” (presuming the damage is to the reputation and function of the United STates).
So the only “preparation” I can see being referenced in this headline would be ideas about how to get the most mileage out of it, cause the most damage, and use the contents and result of the release to further deconstruct the formerly free Republic called The United States of America.
Surely it can’t be meant to suggest that there’s anyone left in the government that is concerned about such potential damage. They are either paid off, scared off or gone. I’m confident in saying that, because I truly hear almost nothing from anyone “in the U.S. Government” expressing any real concern about the destruction of our nation.
I am compelled to comment on this. I searched and found the “Collateral Murder” video and comment from WikiLeaks. I’m not sure exactly what the goal of WikiLeaks is, although I’ve reviewed Stephen Colbert’s report, the WikiLeaks report and a number of sites who have commented on “Collateral Murder”.
It’s obvious someone has a political agenda. I’m unsure what it is except to make war look bad. If someone doesn’t know war is bad, they’re delusional. If you don’t like to view death, you ought not watch these videos. On Colbert, it was stated that 90% of those who encountered the “Collateral Murder” video did not watch it in it’s entirety. Basically once you’ve seen 10 or 12 people blown apart by 30 mm cannon fire from a helicopter, you’ve seen enough.
This is so odd. It’s WAR. War is hell. Even Colbert admitted this. People die in war zones. It’s amazing to me that more civilians haven’t been decimated in Afghanistan. I’d say what the US is doing is pretty sanitary compared to most war zones. Anyone review the damage reports from the Civil War? WWI? WWII? Viet Nam? The Khmer ROUGE for god’s sake?
All I can say is if you’re in a war zone, you’re likely to get tagged. Keep your head down and find a hole to crawl into when the choppers start shooting. 30mm cannon fire is pretty indiscriminate, and journalists involved in war zones know the consequences of being in a war zone.
From 1970-1973 I was a vehement anti-war protester. I’ve grown up since then, and a trip to communist east Germany and the destruction of a couple of buildings in New York (you remember that don’t you?) have changed my attitude.
These videos are absurd. When the Islamic Jihadists are knocking on people’s doors and they come to Uncle Sam to dig them out of THAT hole, the WikiLeaks boys will be singing a different tune.
I am disgusted…
Anyone who gives any credence to WikiLeaks has an IQ equivalent to that of a spoon
gee, some tribal dudes got their clocks cleaned? bummer. can’t trust ‘em anyway – they’d turn on you in a moments notice. remember, you are going after their brothers, fathers, sons, uncles and clansmen – and you are kuffar.
