An investigation has been initiated, [and] Army CID has the lead,' Lapan said.
[...]
'(CID) is an investigative agency that has the ability, the capability, to do these types of things,' Lapan said. 'There are a number of investigative agencies (within the Pentagon), but the decision was made that Army CID takes the lead.'
[...]
Army CID, he said, also is investigating the case of Army Spc. Bradley Manning, who has been charged with leaking a video of a U.S. helicopter attack in Iraq to WikiLeaks. The document leaks investigation is a continuation or extension of the existing open investigation on Manning, Lapan said.
[...]
However, he added, the document leak investigation is 'broader' than the Manning case.
[...]
'The current investigation into the leak of the documents to WikiLeaks isn't focused on any one, specific individual,' Lapan said. 'It's much broader. They're going to look everywhere to determine what the source may be.' |

[...]
'We are aligned in that respect,' Morrell said of the U.S.-Pakistan relationship. 'But we each have our own interests here that we have to balance and work through. We think we're making a lot of progress there, but we're not alone in the driver's seat.
[...]
'As Secretary Gates says, we're in the passenger seat. They're at the wheel,' Morrell continued. 'They determine the direction and the pace, but we're going to be their partner in this effort.'
[...]
'And are there any things in there that could jeopardize our operations or our nation's security?' he continued. 'We just don't know at this point.' |
