into civil war at the time in the worst days. looking back, there was terrible, terrible violence more perhaps than what we thought was going on. and lends new live to that. nina, your reaction. the document dump, i think we have to take this in the context. the head of the wikileaks was a one time australian hacker, who said he believes america is a threat to the democracy and is becoming increasingly militarized and so there s a political agenda behind this dump of documents and he s actually lost the support of a lot of his allies because in the previous dump about the afghan war, they disclosed names of intelligence sources who cooperated. the afghans on the ground who cooperated with n.a.t.o. troops and people were afraid, people like in amnesty international were concerned that this threatened the lives of those people and also the taliban has set up a commission to go after and
wiki leaks is about to release sensitive data including names of intelligence sources. back in july, the site posted almost 77,000 documents from the afghan war. there is war from afghanistan stan this morning that afghan is and coalition forces are succeeding in their crackdown on taliban fighters in the southern province of kandahar. martha ratddatz has details. a senior officer sells abc news that they do have forces on the run in kandahar. the goal there to isolate from the taliban fighters cutting offer ammunition supply routes in and out of the city and hammer the bomb factors that surround it. you get an idea of how the troops are doing it. back in august, search forces began moving up from the southern borders of kandahar city, which you see there bordered in yellow.
handled. but there are different circumstances here. if you kind of compare christmas and last weekend. not a u.s. citizen, a u.s. citizen. the body of information we had on the times square attack came from law enforcement. the body of information we had on the christmas day attack came from intelligence sources. the attack in times square was on america but also from america. the attack on christmas day was on america but it was launched from outside of america. so those are differences. and so my initial instinct as critical as i was about the christmas day events, my initial instinct is absent other evidence i would be less inclined to criticize the action. i would make a couple of points. i think the rule of thumb has to be with captured someone like this the first tack of the government is an intelligence task. it s not a law enforcement task. it s not a prosecutorial task.
