==Cyber Assault==
After the release of the U.S. military Iraq files, there have been calls for an electronic offensive against the organization. In August 2010, [[Pentagon]] press secretary Geoff Morrell left open the possibility of offensive action against WikiLeaks. In October 2010, Adm. [[Mike Mullen]], chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, sent a note out through [[Twitter]] saying: "Another irresponsible posting of stolen classified documents by WikiLeaks puts lives at risk and gives adversaries valuable information." <ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20020835-38.html Has WikiLeaks landed in cyberattack crosshairs? CNET, October 27, 2010]</ref> The Washington Times calls Wikileaks "threat to U.S. national security" and "should be treated accordingly." Not only is Wikileaks a threat to our troops on the battlefield, it is a threat to people and families cooperating with the United States. Our enemies are learning how the military operates. Current Wikileak documents are hosted on [[Amazon.com]] servers in Ireland and Octopuce servers in France. Earlier in 2010, their servers were located in [[Iceland]].

==Iraq==
Information acquired from classified Iraq war documents shows evidence of [[Weapons of Mass Destruction]], mostly remnants of the first [[Gulf War]] stockpiles. Chemical weapons were uncovered from 2004 through the summer of 2008. Also, [[terrorist]] elements tried to acquire these and create their own clandestine chemical weapons labs. <ref>[http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-continued-in-iraq-with-surprising-results/ WikiLeaks Show WMD Hunt Continued in Iraq – With Surprising Results, Wired, October 23, 2010]</ref>
