Editor's note: In preparing this material, The New York Times has redacted or withheld any information that would put lives in danger or jeopardize continuing military operations. Names of Iraqi informants, for example, have not been disclosed. The Times also told the Pentagon which specific documents it planned to post on its website and showed how they had been redacted. The Pentagon did not propose any additional redactions, although it strongly condemned WikiLeaks and the release of the documents.
Iran's role in Iraq, like Syria's, is the subject of hundreds of reports, many of which suggest Tehran was heavily involved in equipping and aiding Shia groups
A previously secret US military report says three Americans detained by Iran in July 2009 for alleged illegal entry were on the Iraqi side of the border when they were seized. The report, written on the day of the hikers' arrest, July 31, says the Americans ignored unspecified cautions about their travel.
These condemnations, and fuss over these controlled Leaks is to give credibility to these leaks. As the US government openly states, and asks the world media to not publish these leaks, or to ignore them because if they publish them, the WikiLeak will gain credibility as the intermediate source.
