Afghanistan War Logs
The Afghanistan war logs are series of reports on the war in Afghanistan imposed by US with its allies including Australia, UK and published by the Guardian, this report is based on the US military‘s internal logs of the conflict between January 2004 and December 2009. The material, largely classified by the US as secret, was obtained by the whistleblower website Wikileaks.org, which has published the full archive with all details they stole from US secrecy department. The Guardian, along with the New York Times and the German weekly Der Spiegel, was given access to these logs before publication to verify their authenticity and assess their significance.
Gathering of data for Afghan war
In Wikileaks hidden working area a team of investigative reporters, regional specialists and database experts spent weeks combing the data for matters of public interest. By establishing the meaning of more than 400 abbreviations and military acronyms they were able to authenticate the logs by comparing them with other records and cross-checking with other sources to verify the documents. They were able to dismiss some of the more lurid intelligence reports as unfounded and establish that some aspects of the coalition’s recording of civilian casualties are unreliable.
Crucial Facts about the War in Field-Citizen Casualties
But taken together, the logs provide a revealing and important picture of how the war was being conducted in Afghanistan by US forces: the continuing escalation of the conflict; the weakness of much coalition intelligence; and the gap between the polished account of the war offered for public consumption and the messy reality experienced by commanders on the ground the way they killed and burnt innocent Afghan citizens were so sad to watch. This is one side’s raw, immediate firsthand account of the conflict as it happened. Although afghan war material has a relatively low level of secrecy classification, the Guardian has taken care not to publish information that could identify intelligence sources, expose unknown intelligence-gathering techniques. For that reason they have not made available the full database. Instead Guardian has published a selection of the logs relating to significant events in the paper and a number more on the web. The website has a glossary tool which makes them easier to read.
This afghan war logs also exposed many hidden facts like spy activities of spy. It was told that Pakistani central Intelligence agency was having contacts with Afghanistan terrorists and was providing support to them and was using dual war policy. Hundreds of civilians have been wounded or killed by coalition forces in several instances that were not previously revealed by US news agencies to public. In one incident, a U.S. patrol machine-gunned a bus, wounding or killing 15 of its passengers in Afghanistan. In 2007 during shooting in Shinwar, U.S. Marines opened fire on civilians after witnessing a suicide bombing and supposedly coming under small arms fire.
On 16 August 2007, Polish troops mortared the village of Nangar Khel, killing five people — including a pregnant woman and her baby which was revealed later by Guardian Newspaper. These afghan war logs much hatred among public in US and other countries for US acts.
