WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assanj rightly said that the first casualty of war is
always the truth. Now after eight years of Iraq war thousands of leak documents
show horrible pictures of the war.
Recent leak documents of Iraq war also show the real faces of those countries
that called themselves champions of human rights. The reports reveal how torture
was organised in Iraqi jails under cover of the US and its allies and how
ordinary civilians paid price of Iraq war. Raids, searches, roadside bombings, arrests, killing of innocent people at
checkpoints everything happened with the approval of US high command. Now the
British and US media are shedding crocodile tears after the death of only single
British aid worker in Afghanistan sitting silent after killing more than 66,000
Iraqi civilians. The leaked data shows that the US has been keeping records of
Iraqi deaths and injuries throughout the war.
This shows that 109,000 people died during Iraq war. Of which 66,000 or
two-thirds were civilians. The recent leak of the Iraq war secret document has
also become a big test for human rights organisations. The files record horrifying tales of abuse and inhuman behaviour of
occupation forces in Iraq one pregnant woman was shot dead at a checkpoint.
Private security guards belonging to notorious Black Water killed innocent
people throughout the Iraq war. Iraqi prison guards used electric drills to
torture prisoners. As a result, several prisoners died in jails.
