WASHINGTON — No U.S. intelligence sources or practices were compromised by the posting of secret Afghan war logs by the WikiLeaks website, the Pentagon has concluded, but the military thinks the leaks could still cause significant damage to U.S. security interests.
The assessment was outlined in an Aug. 16 letter from Defense Secretary Robert Gates to Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, who had requested a Pentagon assessment.
The letter suggests that some of the White House’s worst fears about the July disclosure of almost 77,000 secret U.S. war reports have so far failed to materialize.
