US braces for release of files

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon today asked media organisations not to publish any classified war files released by the WikiLeaks Web site, as the United States braces for the potential disclosure of hundreds of thousands of secret Iraq war documents.
In July, WikiLeaks obtained and released nearly 77 000 classified military reports from Afghanistan. Now, the Pentagon said the group has as many as 400 000 documents from a military database on operations in Iraq. (AP)
