There's an alternate mirror at http://wardiary.wikileaks.org/ when heavy traffic puts the WL mainsite beyond reach. There are other mirrors too. Thanks, Jan, the Guardian. That's what it said, I mixed it up. Shaped, that's what media partners do, definitely. I think I'm going to focus on the raw primary source material on this one and see if it's worthwhile. Peter, is the video downloadable somewhere besides YT? If it's that life-changing I'd certainly give it a fair viewing!
I haven't looked for a downloadable version, but I'm sure there is or soon will be. With the right software you can download any video file you want.
One quick measure of how important this all is is how upset the USG and USM are about it! I will, when more fully analyzed, show many things - but one is already apparent...that [surprise! surprise! surprise!] we have been lied to about the war - how its going; how it is run; who's being killed; who's winning and who loosing...etc. Besides being wrong and evil to have engaged in this war, why the US had so much hubris as to think they could do what NO country has ever - conquer Afghanistan - and the powerful Soviet military not long ago is insane....but then the USG and USM are clinically insane, IMO.
