From Voice of America:
U.S. and Pakistani officials are condemning the publication of leaked documents that are said to be secret U.S. military files about the Afghanistan war.
The website WikiLeaks posted tens of thousands of documents online Sunday, and said it has another 15,000 documents that will be released "as the security situation in Afghanistan permits." It says the files cover the period between January 2004 and December 2009.
White House National Security Advisor James Jones issued a statement calling the leaks "irresponsible," saying they not only put the lives of Americans and their partners at risk, but also threaten national security.
