New York Daily News, by Editorial Posted By: PageTurner- Sat, 31 Jul 2010 16:16:21 GMT The publication of 92,000 classified documents from inside the war effort in Afghanistan is proving a greater threat to national security than first believed. Worse, it has produced mortal dangers in the battle zone.

They now sit squarely in the gunsights of the Taliban. Source corrected to site style.
