Once again, the spread of the so-called Wikileaks documents caused a wave of anger and opposition among most of the regimes of countries in the region and the world. Governments, states, organizations, parties and personalities expressed concern about the publication of these documents. Is it a conspiracy that was revived in the corridors and kitchens of the CIA? Or is it a "dirty game" of the tricks of global Zionism, or is it a new American scheme by the administration of Barack Obama to pressure certain regimes to discredit their sacred and immaculate reputation before their people.

Of course, we and the rest of the media and citizens did not fully know the content of all these documents, which have so far reached more than 800 thousand documents published through the Wikileaks site or European newspapers and magazines known but what we have seen or heard what did not tell us our deep satisfaction and thirst for information To see the facts and know all or part of the secrets of the actions and behaviour's of the systems of the region and in other words that what has been published so far by the site Wikileaks regardless of the validity of the information published was a drop of sea facts located in the squares of the States of the region and that these documents on.
The least did not provide us with any new information about what we know and know There are clear and clear scandals, especially those relating to the behavior and positions of the official Arab regime, the rulers and the officials in the countries of the region. That is to say, what has been published so far is one of the documents we have seen with our eyes in many times and crises experienced by the Arab region from the ocean to Gulf .

What is WikiLeaks? 

Wikileaks, as its authors say, is a public service site dedicated to protecting people who expose scandals and secrets of corrupt institutions or governments and reveal all violations of human rights wherever and wherever they may be. One of the most prominent activists on the site is Julian Assange. The name comes from the integration of the word "wiki" which means a shuttle bus, such as a shuttle to and from a certain place.

The site was founded in the month of Nasser in 2007 and has since started working on disseminating information, fighting conflicts and judicial and political battles in order to protect the principles on which it was based. The first is the credibility and transparency of information and historical documents and the right of people to create a new history as claimed by its founders.

The website was launched through a dialogue between a group of online activists from around the world, motivated by respect for and protection of human rights and suffering, ranging from lack of access to food, health care, education and other key issues.

In this sense, the site's authors considered that the best way to stop these violations is to expose them and highlight them.
The importance of the site in the disclosure of secrets in many issues with a human dimension, for example, as the site says - the real numbers of people suffering from malaria, who are killed in Africa, for example one hundred people every hour.

Australian Julian Asange is one of the founders of Wikileaks (French) and confirms the site's owners that the importance of information leaked information in detecting mismanagement and corruption in countries suffering from such crises as malaria, for example, because medicine is available to treat this disease.

The site relies on the majority of its sources to provide information to the people through the documents they disclose, and to protect the sources of information Wikileaks site follows certain procedures, including sophisticated methods of encryption prevents any party to obtain information revealing the source that provided such leaks.
The information is received either in person or by mail. Wikileaks also has a network of lawyers and other activists to defend the published materials and their sources, which can not - when posted on the site - be censored or prevented.
 
WikiLeaks has already obtained a US Supreme Court ruling that acquitted him of any wrongdoing when he published what became known as Pentagon papers that revealed many secrets about the Vietnam War.

However, at the same time, the site does not give readers too much hope, acknowledging that its publication of important and accurate information may not lead to the conversion of officials to justice and accountability for their mistakes, and ultimately For the judiciary and not the media.

But this does not prevent - Wikileaks - journalists, activists and stakeholders from using information published by the site to search and investigate to get to the truth, and thus can later turn the issue into a case to be considered by the judiciary.

Wikileaks ... Lawsuits and arrest warrants? 

This fact has created great problems for WikiLeaks in terms of its blocking in many countries, especially China, but has succeeded in developing alternative titles through which to access its page and read its contents thanks to the encryption capabilities employed by experts in favor of blocking the site.

Checking Documents Documents and documents are checked using sophisticated scientific methods to verify their accuracy and non-forgery, but the site's administrators acknowledge that this does not mean that the forgery may not find its way to some documents.
Based on this argument, WikiLeaks believes that the best way to distinguish between fake and real is not just experts, but the presentation of information to people, specifically those directly involved.

The process of publishing is simple so that the person only needs to upload the document he wants to display and determine the language and country and origin of the document before the information goes to be evaluated by specialized experts, and have the conditions of publication required. When it receives the green light, the document is distributed to backup backup servers.

In November 2008, a Swiss bank filed a lawsuit against Wikileaks in America after WikiLeaks published allegations of illegal bank activities in the Cayman Islands. In April 2010, Interpol announced that it had issued an international arrest warrant against the founder of WikiLeaks website Julian Assange, who is wanted in Sweden as part of an investigation into rape and sexual assault. A fierce Internet hacker after the publication of hundreds of thousands of US secret documents.

The INTERPOL website said that anyone with information about the 39-year-old Australian-born Asange should contact the national or local police in his country,

Iraq and other countries at the heart of the event.

Published on Wikileaks website in 22 Hannibal 2010 Hundreds of documents reveal the beatings, burning and flogging of detainees by their Iraqi captors. Human Rights Watch said Iraq should prosecute those responsible for torture and other crimes.

The US government must also investigate the question of its forces breaking international law by transferring thousands of Iraqi detainees from its custody to the Iraqi side, although there is a clear risk of being tortured. Field reports and other documents posted on Wikileaks reveal that US forces have repeatedly failed to intervene to prevent acts of torture and continue to refer Iraqi detainees to detention by the Iraqi authorities, despite the knowledge of the US party - or knowledge - of routine torture.

"These new leaks show that torture by Iraqi security forces is rampant and goes unpunished," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. It is clear that the US authorities were known to be systematic violations by Iraqi forces, but handed over thousands of detainees to them anyway. "The documents spoke about Arab and other countries that are a key player in the field of international politics.

The fact that documents leaked 

The 39,131 documents issued on WikiLeaks - most of them written by junior US officers in the field between 2004 and 2009 - indicate the deaths of at least six detainees in custody by Iraq. Reports also reveal several incidents that have gone unreported, in which US soldiers killed civilians, including those killed at checkpoints on Iraqi roads and during raids on homes.

The documents indicate that US commanders have often failed to follow credible evidence that Iraqi forces killed, tortured and mistreated prisoners. According to the documents, the US authorities have investigated some cases of violations, but most often either ignored the abuses or asked the Iraqi party to investigate and then closed the file. On 2 November 2007, Iraqi security forces transferred some detainees to an abandoned house and beat them, resulting in the death of one of them. "Since the coalition forces have not been involved in the alleged abuses, it is not necessary to open the investigation," the report said.

Even when US officials told the Iraqi authorities of abuses, in most cases the Iraqi authorities did not move. In one report, an Iraqi political official told US military investigators that his officers were involved in "abuses and took a method to conduct investigations." According to another report, a senior Iraqi officer refused to attribute charges to defendants "as long as the abuses did not result in physical effects."
The documents reveal countless violations of detainees' rights by the Iraqi security forces over six years.

In a 2005 law document, an American military official described abuse of Iraqis in a detention center in Baghdad, where 95 blindfolded detainees were placed in a single room: "Many of them have signs of abuse, including cigarette burns and bruises, consistent with the effects of beatings and wounds "According to one detainee who was interrogated at the site, 12 detainees have died of disease in recent weeks."

The WikiLeaks report comes about six months after Human Rights Watch interviewed 42 detainees who had been tortured for months by security forces in a secret prison at the old Muthanna airport west of Baghdad. Some 430 detainees had not met with their families or lawyers.

A strike banned by the rules of play ..

In a commentary on military documents of a classified nature leaked by the WikiLeaks website, US Secretary of State Robert Gates said on Thursday that the leaks revealed to the enemy special tactics on the war in Afghanistan could endanger the lives of some persons who cooperated with the United States and provided information Intelligence.

Gates described the leak as "a major breach of security," adding that "the repercussions on the battlefield will be harsh and dangerous."
The comments were made by a senior US official over the leaking of more than 90,000 military documents published by WikiLeaks last week, with dates between 2004 and 2009. At the moment, the Pentagon is making great efforts to review the documents.

Especially after officials said they had already found papers in the leaks that revealed the names of some Afghans who had provided the US military with useful information, which could endanger their lives.

Julian Assange, the founder of the site, said he was careful to withhold more names by refusing to publish more than 15,000 classified documents, which he preferred to keep for sensitive information about individuals whose privacy could be violated. The founder of the site justified his publication of the military documents, which sparked the controversy by his desire to draw the attention of officials and international public opinion to civilian victims who fall due to US military operations in Afghanistan.

But in response to the allegations, the Pentagon said such leaks would be counterproductive, because by revealing military secrets, more civilians would be killed, apparently in an attempt by US officials to embarrass the site and refute its justifications, which Gates expressed in clear resentment. Reveal many raw data, without the slightest sense of responsibility, or self-accountability ».

While it is not yet clear how serious the information is and what the political implications of the leaks are, Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen are keen to stress that the documents in general do not undermine in any part the stated policy of the Obama administration in Afghanistan. Contradicts the basic objectives of the Afghan war, according to US officials.

However, this did not prevent the defence minister and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from giving a negative assessment of the expected results on the battlefield, and the potential benefit of the information contained in the leaked documents. From inside the US military.

Investigations within the ranks of the US military. 

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Michael Wallen, said in response to the leaks: "No matter what the webmaster said about leaking documents about his role in alerting civilians to war, what he did was smearing his hands with the blood of other innocent people who might be killed for revealing their secrets. Their lives at risk ».

The comments of US military officials indicate that a thorough and thorough investigation will be conducted within the ranks of the army to identify the circumstances of the leak and responsible for it. By not only following the site and rummaging through its source, officials seek to embarrass Wikileaks by reaching and punishing its authoritative source.

Bradley .. Scapegoat? 

Although the site refused to disclose the source that allowed him to publish confidential information pointing fingers to the first-class soldier, "Bradley Manin," which also acts as an intelligence analyst, where he was accused in a month of water last published confidential information on the Internet, including a video showed an American attack To a group of people in Iraq who later turned out to be just journalists.

Although Bradley Mannin worked for the US military in Iraq, he was able to access documents related to the war in Afghanistan, documents that WikiLeaks believed to have published, prompting the military to arrest him pending completion of the investigation.

The administration believes that Bradley Manin is the only suspect who leaked confidential documents to WikiLeaks, a gay officer who worked within the US military in Iraq. The American administration believes that Bradley was able to access information through his work at a US base as an intelligence analyst and was disgusted by his country's policy Its troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan decided to take revenge in this way and is now imprisoned in an American military base.

Asked if he had contacted the manager of Assange to see if he had other documents he planned to publish, Gates said, "Why do I tire myself? Do you think he will tell the truth? "

The Defense Secretary said he had contacted FBI Director Robert Mueller to share his investigation into the investigations led by the Army Crimes Investigation Center. The defense minister, or the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did not elaborate on the military tactics revealed by leaked documents and whether they would cost the lives of the soldiers. .

The documents are merely references to some US military operations such as reconnaissance and drone attacks that often result in civilian deaths, as well as the way in which the army responds to Taliban attacks, which may, in case of exploration, Lessons include serious information the rebels may use against coalition soldiers in Afghanistan.
