Alternately, all those pieces are missing a very simple point.
Wikileaks released previously classifed military and intelligence documents. Some of those documents push some of the central tenets of the War on Terror - eg that Osama Bin Laden is the still living and breathing mastermind behind the evil super-terrorists of Al Qaeda, and that Gul and the ISI are secretly helping the Taliban.
What is remotely surprizing about that?
I would hardly expect classified US mil/intel documents to state that OBL is a constructed bogeyman, that Al Qaeda is strictly limited in its ability to strike the West and may not even exist in any meaningful form, or that the ISI and Taliban are ideological enemies.
For me, we are still witnessing a desperate mockingbird attempt to steer the "discussion" of these leaked documents to the advantage of the powerful. Which means concentrating on the claimed ISI-Taliban collaboration, and the alleged "dangers" of OBL and AlQ.
Whilst ignoring the Big Smoking Gun. Namely, TF 373 carrying out extra-judicial murders throughout the region, including the slaughter of women and chidren.
If the wikileaks documents were an intel op, surely they would have been cleansed of any mention of TF 373.
And MSM assets such as the NYT would not be so religiously ignoring the TF 373 revelations.
