Summary
25th July 2010 5:00 PM EST WikiLeaks has released a document set called the Afghan War Diary, an extraordinary compendium of over 91,000 reports covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010.
The reports, while written by soldiers and intelligence officers, and mainly describing lethal military actions involving the United States military, also include intelligence information, reports of meetings with political figures, and related details.
The document collection is available on a dedicated webpage.
The reports cover most units from the US Army with the exception of most US Special Forces' activities. The reports do not generally cover top secret operations or European and other ISAF Forces operations.
We have delayed the release of some 15,000 reports from the total archive as part of a harm minimization process demanded by our source. After further review, these reports will be released, with occasional redactions, and eventually in full, as the security situation in Afghanistan permits.
The data is provided in HTML (web), CSV (comma-separated values) and SQL (database) formats, and was rendered into KML (Keyhole Markup Language) mapping data that can be used with Google Earth. Please note that the checksums will change.
To decompress the files you will need the program 7zip. A free client for Windows can be downloaded here. Please use your favorite search engine to find clients for other operating systems; these include p7zip for Unix/Linux and EZ7z for Mac.

El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos imploró a WikiLeaks no divulgar 15 mil datos que el sitio web tendría en su poder, como se lee en el mismo en el apartado ''Diario de la Guerra Agfana 2004-2010'' donde ya publicó 90 mil más el pasado 25 de julio.

Robert Gibbs, portavoz del gobierno, dijo en entrevista con la cadena NBC que la revelación pondría en riesgo a colaboradores del país en Afganistán, ya que los talibanes anunciaron que tomarán represalias en contra de quienes están enlistados en los informes, y además comprometería la seguridad nacional estadounidense.

A decir de Gibbs, un "filtrado" adicional empeoraría la situación, al tener sus enemigos a disposición datos logísticos que podrían usar en su contra. "Las consecuencias en el campo de batalla de estos documentos es potencialmente grave y peligrosa para nuestras tropas", dijo el portavoz citado por la agencia EFE.
