It had not , however , had the impact that Assange hoped for .Assange 's musical theme of

Wikileaks the full report card of a commission of inquiry , set up by the British people
Foreign and Commonwealth Office , into corruption in the Turks and Caicos Islands .: 335

some of those named had prevented its publication .According to Assange , the deputation
released a redact paper and then removed it .WikiLeaks obtained and restored the entire
school text .The report found that foreign place developers had given billion of US clam in
defrayment and secret loans to elderly politician in the islands , including the TCI 's former
PM , Michael Misick .: 335 === Manning leaks === The Cablegate as well as Iraq and Afghan

region .==== Collateral murder video recording ==== In Apr 2010 , WikiLeaks released
video footage of the 12 July 2007 , Baghdad airstrike , that have been regarded by several
arguer as evidence of war crime committed by the U.S. military .The news program
government agency Reuters had earlier requested the footage through a US Freedom of
Information Act request , but the petition was denied .Assange and others worked for a
workweek to break dance the U.S. military 's encryption of the video , which they titled
Collateral slaying and which Assange first presented at the US Government national Press
Club .It shows United res publica soldiers fatally shooting 18 civilians from a chopper in
Republic of Iraq , including Reuters journalists Namir Noor-Eldeen and his assistant Saeed
Chmagh .==== Republic of Iraq and Afghan War logs ==== WikiLeaks published the Afghan
state of war logs in July 2010 .It was described by the New York Times as `` a six-year

picture of the Afghan war '' .In October 2010 , WikiLeaks published the Iraq War logs , a
collection of 391,832 United States Army field reports from the Irak warfare covering from
2004 to 2009 .Assange said that he hoped the publication would `` correct some of that
attack on the Truth that occurred before the war , during the war , and which has continued
after the war '' .Regarding his own role within WikiLeaks , he said , `` We always expect
frightful criticism .It is my role to live the lightning rod ... to attract the attacks against the
organization for our piece of work , and that is a difficult role .On the early manus , I get
undue credit '' .Assange travelled often and tried to detain away from Western intelligence
activity agencies by checking into hotels under imitation names , sleeping on sofas and
floors , and using encrypted phone and cash .According to David Leigh and St. Luke Warren
Harding they had to carry Assange to edit the epithet of Paxto informant , expressing their
fright that they could make up killed if exposed .In their book WikiLeaks : Inside Julian the
Apostate Assange 's state of war on Secrecy they say Declan Walsh heard Assange say at a
dinner when asked about redaction `` Well , they ’ re informants , so if they get killed , they ’
ve got it coming to them .They deserve it . ''Assange denies making this argument ; speaking
on atomic number 82 Frontline about the accusations he said `` It is absolutely correctly to
name names .It is not necessarily right to distinguish every gens . ''St. John the Apostle Goetz
of Der spiegeleisen , who was also at the dinner , says that Assange did not stool such a
statement .==== Release of uracil diplomatic cable length ==== In November 2010 ,
WikiLeaks published a quarter of a million U.S. diplomatic cables , known as the `` Cablegate
'' files .WikiLeaks initially worked with established Western mass medium organization ,
and later with smaller regional media organisations while also publishing the cable length
upon which their coverage was based .Assange told a medium mate that he owned the data
and had a financial interest in how it was released .The filing cabinet show United States
espionage against the United Carry Amelia Moore Nation and other populace leaders ,
revealed latent hostility between the U.S. and its ally , and exposed putrefaction in area
throughout the public as documented by U.S. diplomats , helping to actuate the Arab give .In
March 2010 , a extremity of WikiLeaks using the handle `` ox '' , widely believed to be Julian
Assange , talked to Chelsea Manning by text chat while she was submitting leaks to
WikiLeaks .The U.S. referred to these Old World chat logs in the 2018 indictment of Julian
the Apostate Assange and filed an affidavit which said they were able to distinguish Assange
as the someone chatting with Manning using wind he made during the chats and that
Manning identified him as Assange to Baron Adrian Lamo .In the confabulation logs ,
Manning asks Assange if he was `` any sound at LM hash fracture '' , which would decipher
passwords .Assange said he was , and told Manning about rainbow tabular array that
WikiLeaks used to crack hashes and find password associated with them .An affidavit by an
FBI agent involved in bringing the cause against Assange claimed this showed an `` illegal
agreement '' to help oneself crack a watchword .When Manning told Assange she had
nothing else to submit to WikiLeaks , he replied that `` curious center never run dry in my
experience . ''During her court martial , Manning said she downloaded the political detainee
assessment brief ( DABs ) for Guantanamo Bay after speaking to a member of Wikileaks via
a unafraid online chat logarithm .While discussing Indian file on Guantanamo Bay , Manning
asked Assange about detainee assessment briefs .She said that `` although he did not believe
that they were of political significance , he did consider that they could follow used to
combine into the general historic account of what occurred at Guantanamo . ''She added
that `` after this give-and-take , I decided to download the information . ''===== firing of
unredacted overseas telegram ===== In 2011 , a serial publication of effect compromised
the security of a WikiLeaks file cabinet containing the leaked US diplomatical cable
television .In August 2010 , Assange gave Guardian journalist St. David Leigh an encryption
winder and a universal resource locator where he could locate the wax file .In February
2011 David Vivien Leigh and St. Luke Warren Gamaliel Harding of The Guardian published
the encryption tonality in their record book WikiLeaks : interior Julian Assange 's War on
Secrecy .Leigh said he believed the key was a temporary 1 that would conk within
day .WikiLeaks supporters disseminated the encrypt data file to mirror situation in Dec
2010 after WikiLeaks experienced cyber-attacks .When WikiLeaks learned what had
happened it notified the US State department .On 25 August 2011 , the High German
magazine Der Freitag published an article giving detail which enabled people to nibble the
information together .On 1 September 2011 , WikiLeaks announced they would make the
unredacted cablegram public and searchable .The protector wrote that the decision to bring
out the cable system was made by Assange alone , a conclusion that it and its four previous
media mate condemned .John Glenn Greenwald wrote that `` WikiLeaks decided—quite
reasonably—that the right and good course was to discharge all the cable system in full , so
that not only the man 's intelligence service agencies but everyone had them , so that steps
could be taken to protect the sources and so that the data in them was equally available
'' .The U.S. established an Information Review Task force play ( IRTF ) to inquire the impact
of WikiLeaks ' publishing .It involved as many as 125 citizenry working over ten
months .According to IRTF reports , the leakage could stimulate `` serious harm '' and put
strange US source at risk .The chief of the IRTF , brigadier general superior general Robert
Carr , testified under questioning at Chelsea Manning 's sentencing hearing that the task
force had found no examples of anyone who had lost their life referable to WikiLeaks ' issue
of the documents .Ed Pilkington wrote in The guardian that Carr 's testimony significantly
undermined the argument that WikiLeaks ' publications put lives at jeopardy .
