What are the documents released by WikiLeaks about?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:If you read the papers (I suppose this goes for most papers), there are quite some articles analysing released facts. For example, today I read something about a list being made public that the US compiled of essential sites (such as energy plants crucial for energy supply in certain parts of the US, or places in Europe where communication lines such as internet cables reached the shore that enabled intercontinental communication). This could be considered sensitive for being able to function as a to do list for terrorists, but one could also argue that most items on the list can be thought of by yourself and that the locations of those sites are known to the public anyway. To summarize all of the documents leaked up til now (which is a mere fraction of what is yet to be released) would be undoable, really, but it’s not hard to find articles highlighting crucial documents.
