Are the WikiLeaks War Docs Overhyped Old News? | Danger Room | Wired.com - 1 views

  • Longtime Afghanistan watchers are diving into Wikileaks’ huge trove of unearthed U.S. military reports about the war.
  • For one thing — and this supports Exum’s argument — many, if not most, of these documents are frontline reports.

  • ...3 more annotations...
  • And some of the heavy-breathing accounts surrounding the documents don’t really match what the logs say. “Taliban sympathisers listening in to top-secret phone calls of US-led coalition,” pants the Guardian.

When these don't manifest, it creates an expectation that the trove is neither useful nor significant. In this case, that would be a mistake.
