Afganistán - Los archivos de la guerra / The War logs - WikiLeaks, NYTimes, The Guardian, Der Spiegel

Publicados por el sitio WikiLeaks, se trata de una fuga de archivos con unos 92 mil documentos oficiales estadounidenses, en su mayor parte secretos, de la guerra de Afganistán. La prensa señala que ofrecen otra dimensión, con información de terreno, que la presentada por la propaganda de la guerra.

La documentación cubre el período entre 1ero de enero de 2004 y el 31 de diciembre de 2009.

El New York Times, The Guardian y Der Spiegel lo han publicado hoy en primera plana bajo el título de "The War Logs".

  • The War Logs, Especial de The New York Times, 25/97/2010
  • Afghanistan - The War logs - The Guardian, 25/07/2010
  • A huge cache of secret US military files today provides a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents, Taliban attacks have soared and Nato commanders fear neighbouring Pakistan and Iran are fuelling the insurgency.
    The disclosures come from more than 90,000 records of incidents and intelligence reports about the conflict obtained by the whistleblowers' website Wikileaks in one of the biggest leaks in US military history. The files, which were made available to the Guardian, the New York Times and the German weekly Der Spiegel, give a blow-by-blow account of the fighting over the last six years, which has so far cost the lives of more than 320 British and over 1,000 US troops.
    Their publication comes amid mounting concern that Barack Obama's "surge" strategy is failing and as coalition troops hunt for two US navy sailors captured by the Taliban south of Kabul on Friday.
