The pentagon has pleaded with media organizations to refrain from publishing any kind of documents in their thousands,on the Iraq War as released by WikiLeaks as the country was bracing for another disclosure.

WikiLeaks released in July about 77,000 military classified reports it had obtained from Afghanistan. Currently, the Pentagon expresses fear that the group contains 400,000 such documents drawn from military database on current Iraq operations.

Editor in Chief, Julian Assange of WikiLeaks was quoted in the media as downplaying expectations on the fact that an imminent leak was almost. Posting on Twitter the editor in chief expressed that the information seemed to come from just one “tabloid blog”, which was known to have released lots of information that was false concerning his site.

Nevertheless, the military has said it was on a higher alert, more so its task force of 120. The task force is believed to be reviewing and going through the documents for many weeks towards scrutinizing the kind of information that could be compromised.

A pentagon representative has reported to the media that the country’s military is currently not sure whether WikiLeaks is known to have shared, the war logs on Iraq, with any known news organization. The representative also said that media should avoid disseminating any information that was stolen in case posted online already, by WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks was almost unknown to the world before the spring of 2010, following a released war video on a number of men being gunned by Army helicopters, within Iraq, while those under fire included two media photographers who were unarmed.
