Reports are circulating that WikiLeaks will release close to 400,000 secret U.S. Army reports from the Iraq War next week. Once again, this would become the largest military leak in U.S. history. Snip from Wired News:
Measured by size, the database will dwarf the 92,000-entry Afghan war log WikiLeaks partially published last July.
"It will be huge," says a source familiar with WikiLeaks' operations, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Former WikiLeaks staffers say the document dump was at one time scheduled for Monday, October 18, though the publication date may well have been moved since then. Some large media outlets were provided an embargoed copy of the database in August.
