The US military is desperately trying to close-in on the sources behind the biggest leak in its history. Pentagon chiefs admit it will take weeks to assess the damage to US-led operations in Afghanistan after the revelations, which include the killing of innocent citizens. Meanwhile, the Wikileaks website is promising that further revelations are on the way. The online whistleblower is now checking into reports dealing with American conduct in Iraq. It’s thought they could expose similar findings to the thousands of documents already posted on the web.
Walid Shoebat vividly remembers the tumultuous days of June, 1967, when Israel and its Arab neighbours were at war. For six days and six nights, Walid and his family hid in the bathroom of their home in Jericho, as fighting raged outside. Walid was taught to hate Jews “On the sixth day, everything went quiet,” Walid told BBC News Online. “My father was listening to Arab radio and the news said: ‘We cleansed Jerusalem of the Jews’.

And no more involvement in Iraq. The anti-war, pro-free-market message led Davis to start a group that now has nearly 500 members. “This is really growing like crazy,” said Davis. Even Paul says he’s surprised by the response. “The reception has been many, many fold greater than I have ever dreamed,” Paul said. “It just seems to spread through the Internet.” On the Internet, Paul has been something of a net-roots phenomenon, topping Paris Hilton and iPhone in Google searches. The cyber-popularity has helped draw fundraising dollars, without Paul having to appear at fundraisers to ask for it. His second quarter cash-on-hand exceeds that of Republican John McCain, who’s long been considered a top tier candidate. “That’s important, you know.
