Explosive Leaks Provide Image of War from Those Fighting It
Intelligence Agents Flooding in Data
America's intelligence agencies are drowning in a sea of data. Fearful of repeating the intelligence mistakes that occurred prior to 9/11, analysts seem to be blindly reporting every single thing.
Security experts have been complaining for some time that these countless reports concentrate too heavily on the opinions and the movements of the enemy -- in this case on the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Far too many analysts and too many reconnaissance flights seem to be concerned with sketching out the hierarchy of the insurgents' networks and creating lists of enemies who should be killed or captured. Intelligence agents are constantly gathering statements from local informants, whose eagerness to please the Americans often surpasses their reliability.
Yet the most serious issues are too often overlooked: The protection of the Afghan civilians, the analysis of the political environment and the search for solution to this endless conflict.
One thing, however, is certain. These thousands of secret documents indicate that, after almost nine years of war, a victory in Hindu Kush looks farther away than ever.A trove of military documents made public on Sunday by an organization called WikiLeaks reflects deep suspicions among American officials that Pakistan’s military spy service has for years guided the Afghan insurgency with a hidden hand, even as Pakistan receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington for its help combating the militants

Un blog consiguió datos/pudo filtrarlos en los medios (todavía no se sabe bien) que conciernen los 7 años en la guerra de Irak-Afghanistan y que incluyen datos como:
-Guera Sucia/No convencional
-El rol de pakistán con el apoyo de grupos talibanes (para gente que no sabe: una guerrilla religiosa que se volvió un pseudo-vietcong en la región).
-Los planes de EEUU respecto a la administración de zonas
-Una lista armada por el estado mayor estadounidense que muestra las personas mas importantes (para su captura o si es necesaria eliminación):
contains the names of Taliban, drug barons, bombmakers and al-Qaida members -- each with a processing number and a priority level. The decision on whether or not to arrest or kill the targeted person is often left to the hunters* themselves.
Nota:Cuando dice "Hunters" se refiere a un batallón especial en el ejercito de USA. http://www.spiegel.de/international/...8314-2,00.html)
