Civilian Deaths: Wikileaks

Intelligence Officers Dept: Among the revelations contained in the nearly 400,000 documents comprised of field reports by U.S. forces and intelligence officers, dated 2004 to 2009, are suggestions that the U.S. military has under-reported civilian deaths and stood by as Iraqi troops tortured and abused their prisoners, according to The Star. Oklahoma native Key currently resides in Saskatchewan with his wife and four children and is awaiting leave to appeal his rejected asylum claim and american war resisters seeking refuge in Canada say the recent round of military documents released by WikiLeaks offers further support of their claims. Former Pte. First Class Joshua Key, one of about 200 Iraq war resisters who fled to Canada, said he witnessed egregious civilian deaths that he was prevented from reporting when he served in Iraq for seven months in 2003. As reported in the news.
