Exclusive: The Taliban has issued a chilling warning to Afghans, alleged in secret US military files leaked on the internet to have worked as informers for the Nato-led coalition, telling Channel 4 News "US spies" will be hunted down and punished.
Speaking by telephone from an undisclosed location, Zabihullah Mujahid told Channel 4 News that the insurgent group will investigate the named individuals before deciding on their fate.
"We are studying the report," he said, confirming that the insurgent group already has access to the 92,000 intelligence documents and field reports.
"We knew about the spies and people who collaborate with US forces. We will investigate through our own secret service whether the people mentioned are really spies working for the US. If they are US spies, then we know how to punish them."
The US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said last night that America has a "moral responsibility" to protect those who might be in danger.
"This department is conducting a thorough, aggressive investigation to determine how this leak occurred, to identify the person or persons responsible, and to assess the content of the information compromised," he said.
"The battlefield consequences of the release of these documents are potentially severe and dangerous for our troops, our allies, and Afghan partners, and may well damage our relationships and reputation in that key part of the world," he added

I wondered the same thing, especially in light of Wikileaks owner Julian Assange's comments today. After Robert Gates criticized the release of the documents, Assange blasted Gates for not paying attention to the 'thousands' of Afghanis killed by the forces of the US and our allies, instead concentrating on 'keeping secrets'.
So Assange obviously has no concern for the people who could be in danger from the Taliban, assuming Afghanis are more in danger from US and Allied soldiers. Typical lib attitude.
If I’m not mistaken, the perps are not Americans.
I don’t want him to spend time in prison. I want to see him released in Afghanistan to see how long he lasts running for his miserable, worthless life.
THAT would be justice.
Wasn’t WH contacted for OK (and OKd it) before wikitraitors decided to go ahead with it???
This is a good reason to disallow queers from entering the military.
What the Taliban don’t realize that those names are plants and are really pro-Taliban!
Assenge might be chargeable under Britain’s “Official Secrets Act” if these documents made references to British operations and personell in Afghanistan. The OSA is a much more powerful piece of legislation than anything we have and I hope that Cameron has the balls to invoke it.
As an alternative, I hope some Julian Assenge gets to learn the various words that can be made out of his last name, such as “ASS”, etc.
In a more sane time these traitors would be lined up against a wall and shot.
