Wikileaks releases shocking mIRC transcripts from Afghanistan

Filed · 1546

LONDON, U.K. – The website Wikileaks today released more than 35,000 pages of mIRC transcripts from the United States and other NATO forces in Operation Enduring Freedom.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange praised the release as the most damning indictment of the United States ever leaked to the press.

"This latest release, more than all the others, exposes the lies and hypocrisies of the United States," Assange told reporters. "And it's all thanks to Bradley Man-- I mean, my network of secret informants."

mIRC is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client, created in 1995, and operated by the US military as its primary online communications program.
