Indian Constructors Killed in Afghanistan - Top 5 Wikileaks till now

1. Indians Killed in Afghanistan
After the infamous aftermath in Afghanistan by the US, Afghan President Hamid Karzai & his Council decided to rebuild the demolished infrastructure of Afghanistan. Karzai signed few tenders with the Indian Builders to rebuild roads & offices in Kabul & in other adjacent states from 2008 till further. According to the cable releases by the Whistleblower - Wikileaks, several Indians Constructors & workers were killed by the Pakistan Forces & other insurgent groups in the span of 2 years. While on the other hand the Afghan Government are denying this fact altogether & claiming that Wikileak facts are nebulous & are here to abhor the India & Afghanistan relationship.

2. American Soldiers  Killed Civilians in Iraq
Horrifying video footage showing 15 people including two Reuters journalists being shot dead by a US Army Apache helicopter gunman, taken from the helicopter's gun camera, appalled the world when it was released on Wikileaks.


The crew were heard laughing at the "dead b-----ds" and saying "light 'em up!" and "keep shooting, keep shooting". 
The US military has refused to discipline the helicopter's crew, saying that there were "insurgents and reporters in an area where US forces were about to be ambushed.
"At the time we weren't able to discern whether (Reuters employees) were carrying cameras or weapons."
The brother of one of the dead Reuters journalists was sceptical: "My question is how could those highly skilled American pilots with all their hi-tech information not distinguish between a camera and a rocket launcher." 

3. Sarah Palin’s Email Account
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, the private Yahoo email account of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin was hacked, revealing that she was using it for official business. It was alleged that this was in part to avoid American public record laws.
Well, According to the US Laws no Government official can use anything privately during the tenure of his/her service to the United States & more importantly not during the Elections/Campaigning. Even President Obama's Blackberry is being scrutinized regularly by The White House Officials.
Now what the hell she was doing...that only she or God knew.

Shoddy Indian Journalism - Top 5 Wikileaks till now

4. Guantanamo Bay operating procedures - HELL ON EARTH 
Now this I termed as Barbaric.
To the inkling fact if heaven exists on earth then so does HELL!!!...Guantanamo Bay is one such thing. Its a so called famous prison of United States.

The "Standard Operating Procedures for Camp Delta", the US Army manual for soldiers dealing with prisoners at Camp Delta, was released on Wikileaks. Human rights groups were concerned to discover that according to official guidelines, prisoners could be denied access to the Red Cross/Health Services for up to four weeks. It also showed that inmates could earn "special rewards" for good behavior and cooperation - and that one such "reward" was a roll of toilet paper. 
They were not allowed even to get a TOILED PAPER!!!!

5. Shoddy Indian Journalism
You do not need to be a journalist to understand the basic premise of ethics, which starts with
protecting victims first; and that is done by avoiding key information from being aired publicly - such as but not limited to revealing the number of possible people still in, the hideouts of hostages & people stuck in building.
  • In one instance Barkha Dutt asked a husband about his wife being stuck, or held as a hostage. The poor guy adds in the end about where she was last hiding. And that Info get Aired! My dear friends with AK-47s, our national news is helping you. Go get those still in. And be sure to thank NDTV for not censoring this bit of information. The terrorists were watching this on Television, they came down from where they were in a lift after hearing about them on TV.
  • Another instance, during the Kargil conflict, Indian Army sources repeatedly complained to her channel that she was giving away locations in her broadcasts, thus causing Indian casualties.
  • In fact, Hemant Karkare died because these channels showed him prepare (wear helmet, wear bullet-proof vest.) in excruciating detail live on television. And they in turn targeted him where he was unprotected. The brave officer succumbed to bullets in the neck.
What the Hell is this goin on man!!!!....

In the interval of this story US warned Julian Assange, the father of Wikileaks, to stop publishing the statements & the work is being marked as illegal. Though he is now hailed as ‘Rising Star’ of investigative journalism by a section of the media.
