Credit: Reuters/Andrew Winning By Sue Pleming WASHINGTON | Thu Aug 5, 2010 3:38pm EDT WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon demanded on Thursday that whistle-blower web site WikiLeaks immediately hand over about 15,000 secret Afghan war records it had not yet published and erase material it had already put online. "We are asking them to do the right thing," said Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell in asking WikiLeaks to hand over the U.S. documents and delete material it had put on the Internet. "We hope they will honor our demands," he told reporters, adding that the only rightful owner of all the classified material in WikiLeaks possession was the U.S. government. The whistle-blower site caused an uproar when it published more than 70,000 documents last month, coming at a time when U.S. public and congressional support for the nine-year war in Afghanistan is flagging. The defense department said the leak -- one of the largest in U.S. military history -- put U.S. troops and Afghan informers at risk and WikiLeaks might already have blood on its hands. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has said his group held back about 15,000 papers to protect innocent people from harm and Morrell said the appeal for documents to be returned was to prevent publication of material that could cause further damage. Asked whether the Defense Department would take legal action against WikiLeaks if it refused to comply with the demand, Morrell declined to give specifics but said it was up to the FBI and the Justice Department to decide how to proceed. "If doing the right thing is not good enough for them, then we will figure out what other alternatives we have to compel them to do the right thing," he added. Morrell said public disclosure of the secret documents, which included names of Afghan informers, had already caused damage and a bid to get the information permanently deleted from the web site and all the documents returned was aimed at minimizing further harm. WikiLeaks also has a large, encrypted file on its web site titled "insurance" which has not been released to the public, and the Pentagon is jittery over the possible publication of more unknown material. COMBING MATERIALS Morrell said a task force of about 80 government intelligence experts were painstakingly combing through the 70,000 or so documents which had already been released and were notifying foreign governments and others when material was seen as posing a risk. The intelligence analysts had done about 400 initial "word searches" of the documents and were working around the clock to analyze the material in greater depth, Morrell added. Morrell said the department had an idea over what might be in the 15,000 unreleased documents and was doing "prophylactic work" in case WikiLeaks ultimately posted this material. He declined to give details. The U.S. investigation is focusing on Bradley Manning, who worked as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq. Manning is already under arrest and charged with leaking a classified video showing a 2007 helicopter attack that killed a dozen people in Iraq, including two Reuters journalists. The New York Times, Der Spiegel and The Guardian newspaper were asked by WikiLeaks to review the documents before they were released on the Internet.

The squad should have left with the data or carried off every piece of hardware at the company as well as sending everyone at company to jail to await trial. BobEngineer Report As Abusive Aug 05, 2010 2:45pm EDT Good question — do the “right thing” for whom?? The Pentagon has yet to show how even one person has been harmed as a result of Wikileaks. losttourist Report As Abusive Aug 05, 2010 3:16pm EDT Anybody who thinks that removing the information from the WikiLeaks site is going to accomplish anything at this point shouldn’t have anything to do with securing our classified information. user123456 Report As Abusive Aug 05, 2010 3:42pm EDT The real question that isn’t being asked is how in the first place did Wiki Leaks get a hold of this information that is supposed to be classified. This appears to be a leftest political tactic to keep blaming bush or whatever. When we should really be looking into who in the Obama administration leaked all this stuff. whothe Report As Abusive Aug 05, 2010 3:43pm EDT Why doesn’t the Pentagon do the right thing and get the United States out of Iraq and Afghanistan? Wanna turn down the gush of American money flowing overseas? Bring the troops home. To user123456: I agree completely. 1AmericanGuy Report As Abusive Aug 05, 2010 3:46pm EDT Hmmm, considering that the American taxpayer has been forced into paying over a trillion dollars for this war, the information (and all of it) does and should belong to all American citizens. We deserve to know the “untarnished” truth…not the truth that the Gov wants us to see. Flurriez Report As Abusive Aug 05, 2010 3:53pm EDT the Pentagon must do the Right thing! Wiki leaks is just exposing its undercovered filth work!.. What is the Pentagon really doing in Afghanistan that is so scared and hurt with this leak? and why is it breaking its alliance with its nato counterparts? This war was started by the Bush administration, and reversing so many years of political and military stragety isn’t quite simple. We have the right to know what is really happening in Afghanistan and Iraq.. remember We are paying that war!! our money is financing its bullets, its rockets, its bombs, its deaths! so we deserve to really know what has the goverment being doing with the money that is deducted from our paychecks! york_3000 Report As Abusive See All Comments (15) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
