New leaks on Iraq Wikileaks reveals that the U.S. allowed systematic torture in Iraq The leaks reveal for the first time an official death toll: 109,000 dead, 63% of them civilians .- The Pentagon fears that the documents, nearly 400,000 classified files, jeopardizing the safety of troops
El Pais - Madrid - 22/10/2010
Wikileaks has complied with its threat to issue 391,832 secret documents about the war in Iraq. Systematic use of torture, 109,000 dead in Iraq between 2003 and 2009-the 63% of them civilians, and aid from Iran to Iraqi militias are the main revelations. For now, the more accurate tracking of the leaked documents from the Department of Defense U.S. can do in the digital editions of The Guardian and The New York Times, Le Monde, Der Spiegel, Al Jazeera and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism . To understand the complicated military terminology of the reports, the latter institution includes a glossary.
According to the analysis of documents has disseminated founded by Julian Assange page while the media noted above, U.S. officials left without investigating hundreds of reports that exposed abuses, torture, rape and even murder perpetrated systematically by the police and the Iraqi army, allied international forces invaded the country. British and U.S. officials insisted until now that there was no official registry of victims, but the documents set out in 66,081 non-combatants killed a total of 109,000 casualties during the six years studied. More than 15,000 civilians were killed in incidents so far unknown. Most victims are civilians, as deduced from the information handled by the United States, due to militia attacks and ethnic account settings and politicians that Iraqi security forces and international were unable to avoid.
Wikileaks reports, supported by medical evidence, described prisoners blindfolded, handcuffed and beaten, whipped and electric shock. As it is documented accumulated by the U.S. Army, these events would, therefore, all known to the Pentagon.
Passiveness abuse
The coalition of international forces in Iraq appears to be insensitive to many of the revelations of abuse that make their soldiers. The label "No investigation is necessary" ("No need for research") marks the best grounded complaints of abuse.
The New York Times said that the documents include references to the deaths of at least six detainees in Iraqi custody. In hundreds of reports cite lashes, burns and beatings, and in one case in particular American soldiers trained their suspicions that Iraqi soldiers and cut their fingers burnt with acid to one of the prisoners. Two reports show the execution of two prisoners tied up.
Some reports make clear that U.S. troops when they suspect the possibility of torture, interrupt these practices and confiscate the materials allegedly perpetrated. In some cases, the U.S. military opened an investigation but most seem to have confined itself to inform his superiors and let the investigation in the hands of Iraqi forces.
The phrase "no coalition soldier was involved in the incident" is common in the reports. Meanwhile, on occasion, local police chiefs expressed their agreement with the torture, "as long as it does not leave marks." On another occasion, an officer described the abuse as "a method for developing research."
What is also clear is that while American soldiers perpetrated the abuse, they used the threat of them by Iraqi forces to obtain information from detainees. The only references to violence committed by U.S. soldiers are not documented.
A long announced filtration
The leak comes after a week of speculation about the real scope and content of the material being advanced that Wikileaks reveal. The huge amount of "nearly 400,000 documents released classified files, leaving far behind now that so far the big milestone supposed leak of the organization, the release of 75,000 secret files in July on the war in Afghanistan and, previously, the diffusion a video of U.S. soldiers killing a photographer in Baghdad.
After Wikileaks announced yesterday that in a press conference today would make "an important announcement," the Department of Defense U.S. was on alert, fearing that, in addition to revealing details of operations known and documented by the press at the time , the files reveal the names of staff who participated in actions, as it did with the roles of Afghanistan. But finally advanced filtering. Al Jazeera last night began to disclose the contents of the files actually breaking the embargo agreed and soon after Wikileaks posted the documents along with the other media that had given them.
