SUPPORT THE WIKILEAKS WHISTLEBLOWERS

The US government and military are now making ominous threats
against Wikileaks, following its release of over 76,000 secret US
military documents which reveal that the US and its Nato allies
are killing hundreds of Afghan civilians in unreported incidents
and committing countless war crimes in Afghanistan.

The Pentagon has made the accusation that by publishing the
documents, it is Wikileaks that has "blood on it hands",
endangering the lives of "our troops, our allies and Afghan
partners", rather than the politicians and generals who are
waging an unjustified war which has slaughtered tens of
thousands.

The Pentagon says that if Wikileaks does not ""immediately return
all versions of all of those documents to the US government and
permanently delete them from its website, computers, and
records... we have to compel them to do the right thing."

The aim is to use intimidation and fear to deter any future
whistleblowers from revealing the truth about the failing war in
Afghanistan. There can be no doubt that the Wikileaks
editor-in-chief, Julian Assange, and his staff are in real
danger.

As is Bradley Manning, the 22-year-old US army private who is
already under arrest for the alleged leaking of the Iraq
collateral murder video, published in May by Wikileaks (SEE
 http://bit.ly/9iUnkT ) . If he turns out to be the source of the
Wikileaks documents published last week, he may face the death
penalty for acts which have only served the causes of truth,
peace and justice.

Just as the Vietnam anti-war movement was galvanised by Daniel
Ellsburg's leaking of the Pentagon Papers, revealing the reality
of the Vietnam War which had been hidden from the American
public, today's anti-war movement needs to do all it can to
support Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and all the
whistleblowers who are so important to the campaign against the
war in Afghanistan.
