On Monday, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks held a press conference in London. It was concerning the over 91,000 US documents about the Afghanistan war that were released on the website. These documents provided by an unknown source show of possible war crimes.

WikiLeaks.org posted the 91,000 documents obtained onto it’s website on Sunday. This amounted to over 75 megabytes of data. It bascially consists of every “significant” event to take place in Afghanistan from 2004-2010 and is categorized into 100 different categories. Everyone has access to these documents at http://wardiary.wikileaks.org.

WikiLeaks has been in the news many times in the past for presenting leaked documents to the public. The organization has raised over $1 million from the public, and “aims to achieve political reforms by getting out information that has been suppressed to the public.”

Julian Assange, who is a 39 year old ex-computer hacker said that he fears for his life at times, and does not sleep in the same place two nights in a row.
