Army angered by leaks
The Army Counterintelligence Center really has considered undermining WikiLeaks by exposing the identity of anonymous contributors to the online repository of leaked, embarrassing and classified government and corporate documents.
Earlier this week, reports of a SECRET/NOFORN Army report surfaced, which worries about sensitive military information publically available on WikiLeaks and offers a solution through the "identification, exposure, or termination of employment of or legal actions against current or former insiders, leakers, or whistleblowers." In fact, the report came from WikiLeaks, which posted it on March 15.
On Wednesday, the New York Times said an Army spokesman confirmed that the report, written in 2008, is real.
The website has been online since January 2007 and has published Army tables of equipment in Iraq and Afghanistan from April 2007 and an outdated copy of the Guantanamo military prison's standard operating procedures. The Army equipment tables revealed "nearly the entire order of battle for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan," the report states.
"Wikileaks.org most likely has other DoD sensitive and classified information in its possession and will continue to post the information to the Wikileaks.org website," the report states.
The site is hosted by PRQ, a Swedish firm that tells customers "we don't even have to know who you are, and if we do we will keep it under strict secrecy."
"If it is legal in Sweden, we will host it, and will keep it up regardless of any pressure to take it down," PRQ promises.
