What this site is: It is a compendium of over 400,000 classified and otherwise not-released-to-the-public documents detailing the lesser known side of the Iraq war. Also understand that obviously every document here is not earth-shattering and going to twist your conceptions of our nation, but there are a few diamonds in there that really make you reevaluate how you feel. You have to do a bit of digging.
Why it's important: It is documentation of the deaths of some 104000 civilians in Iraq. Even more, now, I believe.
Why it's not criminal: This does not divulge secrets that would effect the condition of the war currently, at least not directly. Like it doesn't reveal our secret plans or whatever else. However, it does show us gunning down Iraqi civilians trying to retrieve the wounded after we mistakenly massacred 8 civilian reporters (this attack ended up mortally wounding two children as well who were with the Iraqi rescuers, who we refused to treat at our camp). It also reveals interesting things like who the hell really has the bomb, and what is still just media bullshit. The only way this could effect the war is in the same way footage effected Vietnam - we realized that war really does suck and we ran the hell out of there.
Why you may not have heard of this yet: The government has blacklisted this site. No media is supposed to really talk about this, like ever. Think about this. 400,000 documents? Greatest intelligence leak literally ever? That's definitely bigger than "two women were trampled on black friday". And you never heard about it, except for maybe a whisper online or on CNN. It's been banned in many countries, because it reveals documents that were exchanged between our embassy and there's, and from what I've seen, some are fairly incriminating. China recently attacked the site with their tech, overloading it in excess of 10 Gigabytes per second (that's a shitload) in an effort to shut it down, because it revealed less than happy things about their government's dealings as well.
I'm not screwing with you, this is legitimate. People have gone to jail, and people are on the run for creating this site. You can peruse it, however, without fear, as this is freedom of speech and information.
I know a lot of you don't really involve yourself in politics, or you have some huge boner for America, but please realize that this is not some "opinion" or me pushing some political agenda on you. These are straight up facts, straight from the mouth of your government. These are facts for you to interpret as you desire. Take a bit of time out of your day to take a look at it, this is incredibly important. I find it to be imperative to know what is going on around me.
