Wikileaks publishes secret CIA memo2010-08-26 09:11 by DanielaTags: Wikileaks, CIA
Wikileaks posted a classified CIA memo on Wednesday, three weeks after the Pentagon warned the self-described whistleblower website to return a huge cache of of unpublished documents believed to be in its possession. The secret memo, titled "What If Foreigners See the United States as an 'Exporter of Terrorism?'," isn't likely to cause US intelligence officials to lose much sleep. It was drafted six months ago by members of the CIA's "Red Cell," a unit established to offer agents food-for-thought on a host of issues. "These sorts of analytic products – clearly identified as coming from the Agency's 'Red Cell' – are designed to simply provoke thought and present different points of view," the CIA said in a statement issued on Wednesday. Still, the release indicates that Wikileaks remains undaunted by veiled Pentagon threats following last month's airing of some 77,000 mostly classified records related to the US war in Afghanistan. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said two weeks ago he would not be intimidated into suppressing an additional 15,000 documents he is still holding. He has said he's weeks away from releasing the documents, which some pundits have warned could be even more explosive than the first batch. Read more -here-
