“EDITORIAL: A Wikileak too far
There are limits to press freedom in times of war”

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times 6:03 p.m., Thursday, July 29, 2010

SNIPPET: “

SNIPPET: “Word is out that the Wikileaks classified-document dump contains reports naming Afghans who have been cooperating with Coalition forces. This is the kind of information that can get people killed. It also raises the data release to a new level of criminality.

The Washington Times Editorial Board reviewed the reports in question on the day of their release but chose not to write about them because of the potential damage that revealing the information could do to the war effort as well as to cooperative Afghans. These secret reports have the greatest possibility of causing deadly consequences, which under the American legal tradition is why those who leaked them should be held accountable.”
