> Wikileaks has a stated goal of extracting as much intelligence from the US military as they can. I've followed this for quite sometime and I do not recall this ever being a stated goal of Wikileaks. It is a stated goal of theirs to publish anything a whistle-blower sends them. If the US military has the most to fear it might be because they have the most to hide in regards to warcrimes etc. Primary Source here: http://wikileaks.org/IMG/pdf/Assange-WikiLeaks-Enemy-USAF-FOI.pdf http://wikileaks.org/IMG/pdf/Assange-WikiLeaks-Enemy-USAF-FO... Original article was in the Sydney Morning Herald. This is a rewrite of a rewrite of the documents.
