Wow. I added 'site:.au' and on the first page was an old doc related to the Australian Defence Force's position on the Wikileaks release (2010):
http://www.defence.gov.au/foi/docs/disclosures/054_1213_Documents.pdf http://www.defence.gov.au/foi/docs/disclosures/054_1213_Docu...
It's both marked as "Declassified" and "UNCLASSIFIED - Document not for public release". Hilarious!
That said, there's some great commentary:
> The potential for the leaked documents to adversely affect the safety of deployed forces, or operational security more broadly, is being assessed by the Defence task force. It appears unlikely at this stage that ADF or coalition forces will be directly endangered by the leaks. The information examined so far is tactical information that is now sufficiently aged that it poses minimal threat
It's interesting to see how despite the apparent "minimal threat" Julian Assange is still under quite a lot of heat from strong political forces over this (& other releases).
