United States vs. Manning

2010-10-25

		Despite WikiLeaks' attempt to redact the names of Iraqi informants from its recent leak of classified military reports, some of those people are still in danger, a Pentagon spokesman said today. [...] 'We had identified 300 or so people whose names were [mentioned in the documents] that possibly would be put at risk if their names were published,' Pentagon spokesman Marine Corps Col. Dave Lapan said. [...] Of that group, he added, the names were removed but 'in a few dozen cases there's still information that could identify those people.' [...] Such remaining information includes job titles, he said. [...] The U.S. Central Command has the names of those potentially at risk and 'is deciding whether they're going to make notifications or not,' Lapan said. [...] A joint task force led by the Defense Intelligence Agency is comparing the original with redacted documents, he said, to assess the damage that WikiLeaks' publication of the classified Iraq significant-activities reports, called the SIGACTS data base, could pose to the U.S. military, Iraqi allies and current operations.
