Leaked Afghan reports reveal 'war crimes,' campaigner claims

[spanone]

London, England (CNN) -- Leaked United States military reports from Afghanistan appear to contain "evidence of war crimes," the man who published them said Monday.

WikiLeaks.org -- a whistleblower website -- published what it says are about 76,000 United States military and diplomatic reports about Afghanistan filed between 2004 and January of this year.

It has another 15,000 documents which it plans to publish after editing out names to protect people, according to Julian Assange, the founder of the website.

The first-hand accounts are the military's own raw data on the war, including numbers of those killed, casualties, threat reports and the like, he said.

"This material does not leave anyone smelling like roses, especially the Taliban," he said, also implying that some U.S. troops had behaved improperly.

Sweep it under the rug ASAP so people stop talking about it.
