The US Government has asked wikileaks to discontinue posting the classified information that was given about US and NATO operations in Afghanistan to its web site. I am personally appalled that they would even consider placing this information on its web site. This is the reason that the military has been so skeptical of dealing with the press. Our military has a good relationship with the American press and I know that our press would never do anything to jeapordize the lives of our countrymen and allies as wikkileaks has done. They have got to know that the information that they have published puts the lives of many troops, and civilians who have cooperated in danger.
The Taliban has this material and has said that they will punish any who have provided information to the US in the war. It will be very difficult now for us to get any future cooperation from the citizens from that country. I wouldn’t blame them whatsoever although our military ring customers desperately needs the information that they provide in order to root the enemy out.
Since this is my blog I can say this: Both the soldier who provided the information, and the person who made the decision to publish it should be executed with extreme prejudice.

there should be a way to censure the information that wikileaks releases. Wikileaks should be willing to not publish information that will put lives in jeapordy http://www.militaryringexpress.com/products
