DoD Study Contradicts Charges Against WikiLeaks

Voline writes: Last Summer, after WikiLeaks released 90,000 leaked internal US military documents in their Afghan War Log, Pentagon officials went on a media offensive against WikiLeaks, accusing it of having the "Blood on It's Hands" of American soldiers and Afghan collaborators who are named in the documents. The charge has echoed through the mainstream media (and internet comment threads) ever since.

Now, CNN is reporting that after a "thorough" Pentagon review, "WikiLeaks did not disclose any sensitive intelligence sources or methods, the Department of Defense concluded." And, according to an unnamed NATO official, "there has been no indication" that any Afghan's who have collaborated with the NATO occupation have been harmed as a result of the leaks.

Will the Pentagon's contradiction of the charges against WikiLeaks get as much play in the media as those original accusations did?
