“wikileaks has made a terrible mistake by publishing these names and there are no excuses for it. They could have published their evidence without bringing people in danger. Since it is crystal clear that wikileaks has no way to justify their stupidity, all kinds of irrelevant stuff is brought up.”
I still didn’t find any evidence of names published. And again, exclusivity was given to 3 major media and apparently only one newspaper found this leaks, and this is relayed by a US general with the good moral tone that this betrayal deserved…

As this affair doesn’t do any front page even in the most conservative newspapers I think it was a hoax to discredit the site…

The problem I have with these Crusaders Searching For the True Truth is they have access to only one source…
As in Vietnam where they never saw one Assassination Committee, journalist and Reporters are able to report only the Allies side, for the bad. The Taliban will give interview after a successful ambush but will hardly invited journalists in preparing an IED or the slaughters of alleged informants.

I don’t think the Talibans are so powerful. I don’t think they have one chance to win the war on the front. They even weren’t able to defeat the Masoud’s Northern Alliances.
As very well explain by Major Robert Dump, a lot of people don’t see with a good eye progress and development to come in their villages, as they will loose their power…
If the Allies don’t make the mistake done by the USSR when they withdraw (and there is no reason they should as the “mistake” was do to the collapse of the USSR), the Talibans are finished.
In fact, military speaking the Allies have just to go outside and wait for the Talibans leaders to show-up and eliminate them…

I still think that the men who are actually crediting the Talibans of powers they haven’t and spreading this history of names given are de facto playing in the Talibans’ hands.
