Pentagon asks media not to publish classified information about military campaigns

It seems that WikiLeaks did achieve its goal - the publication in the public domain of secret documents about the US military campaigns (and some other states) in different countries touched the Pentagon alive. And hurt to such an extent that the leadership of this powerful organization is now tearfully asking not to publish secret documents in the public domain, not really, however, hoping that the request will find understanding among the WikiLeaks team. However, today a Pentagon spokesperson also asked other media representatives not to publish classified documents regarding US military campaigns.

This request was received today, probably after Essange announced the news that the next batch of classified documents would be published shortly. Currently, about 77 thousand secret military documents on the war in Afghanistan have already been published on this resource. Now the Pentagon has learned that more than 400 thousand (!) Documents on operations in Iraq fell into the hands of Essange and its partners.

Now the warriors are in a hurry reviewing their own database, trying to determine what kind of documents could be compromised by an indefatigable Australian. The Pentagon spokesman shared with various media representatives the fears that Essange might have provided secret documents, while unpublished, to various newspapers, magazines and other media. Although, in the opinion of the Pentagon’s representative, these documents cannot be published by the media, since this contradicts US law. In addition, such information cannot be disseminated by the media of this country even if secret documents are publicly available.

It is worth noting that the WikiLeaks resource itself was unfamiliar to the general public before the video clip was published this spring, where it was clearly visible how journalists were shot from a helicopter (as it turned out, the military could not take out the spectacles of a group of local residents near the minibus, suspecting there are terrorists agreeing to conduct another crime).

After it was laid out 77 thousand documents on the war in Afghanistan, as mentioned above. Now the Pentagon is conducting an investigation, the purpose of which is to find out how the secret documents get on WikiLeaks. Incidentally, Essenju was denied a residence permit in Sweden. Thus, he will have to look for a new haven. Well, for now, the Pentagon is changing its form of persuasion and just starting to ask, which is very unusual for such an organization.
