Wikileaks's Julian Assange Website

Thousands of classified Iraq war documents made public by WikiLeaks are aimed at bringing out the truth, that had been the first casualty of war, the website's founder Julian Assange said today, adding that he wanted the leak to have the maximum possible impact.

"This first casualty of war is the truth," Julian Assange told a news conference here, hours after the whistleblower released a fresh cache of classified military documents.

In what is the largest classified military leak in US' history, the website has released nearly 400,000 secret American documents on the Iraq war detailing graphic accounts of torture and the killing of over 66,000 civilians.
