==[[Afghanistan]]==
:{{See also|Afghan Wars}}
On July 25, 2010, WikiLeaks published 76,000 previously classified documents about the Afghan war. Instead of investigating allegations of [[war crimes]], an arrest warrant based on false allegations against Wikileaks founder [[Julian Assange]], was issued. Assange spent eight years holed up in the Embassy of [[Ecuador]] in London, and eventually transferred to a [[UK]] jail in ill health.
In 2011m Assange said, "The goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan. The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war."<ref>https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-assange-described-decade-ago-how-endless-afghan-war-was-engineered-transnational</ref>
The Wikileaks data described a secret hit list called the “Joint Prioritized Effects List” (JPEL) with as many as 2,058 names considered “capture/kill” targets in Afghanistan.<ref>https://archive.is/392KL</ref> WikiLeaks gave the information to ''[[The Guardian]]'', ''[[The New York Times]]'' and ''[[Der Spiegel]]''. ''The Guardian'' described the project as a “Unique collaboration between the ''Guardian'', ''The New York Times'' and ''Der Spiegel'' magazine in Germany to sift the huge trove of data for material of public interest and to distribute globally this secret record of the world’s most powerful nation at war.”<ref>https://archive.is/MypDt#selection-2021.162-2021.414</ref> Assange said in a written affidavit given in 2013 that the material documented “detailed records about the deaths of nearly 20,000 people.”<ref>https://archive.is/3mzSe#selection-5771.0-5793.63</ref>
Several WikiLeaks colleagues say he, Julian Assange, acted alone when deciding to release the [[Afghan]] documents without removing the names of Afghan intelligence sources for [[NATO]] troops.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/24/world/24assange.html?_r=1 WikiLeaks Founder on the Run, Trailed by Notoriety, NYTimes, october 23, 2010]</ref>

For years, Wikileaks has been very useful in combating [[Islamic terrorism]] and [[sharia law]] by hosting material which elsewhere was subject to bans, [[Media blackout|blackouts]], and death threats. Examples include hosting the documentaries [[Fitna]] by [[Geert Wilders]] and [[Theo Van Gogh]]'s similar movie [[Submission (film)]].
