As the founder of the whistleblower website WikiLeaks remains underground in fear that the U.S. will detain him, the site is preparing to release a leaked video of a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan that is said to be more shocking than the Iraqi video that sent its controversial leader into hiding.

Julian Assange, who has been garnering more attention since it was announced that Pentagon investigators are looking for him, told his supporters in an email this week that he has a classified video of a U.S. attack on Afghan civilians.

In an interview airing today on "Brian Ross Investigates," a weekly investigative news magazine show airing on ABC News Now and Hulu.com, a member of the Icelandic Parliament who has worked closely with Assange said the Afghan video is expected to be released shortly.

“Just keep in mind that a day may come when you’ll want to use WikiLeaks yourself, to get out a story about our government. Sauce for the goose, etc.”

I think that you are naive if you think that they will put out a story that conflicts with their ideology. Say you find footage of BO taking a bribe, or offering assistance to the Taliban. Think they will show it? I doubt it. They would spike it.

If it’s anything like the last “massacre” they showed us, it’s heavily edited BS.

Get bent, traitors.

Even more shocking than the first video?

The only thing shocking in the first video was that it was labelled ‘collateral murder’. They were clearly insurgents/terrorists planning an RPG attack on a US convoy.

Was I supposed to be shocked that the terrorists had a cameraman with them? The only thing that would shock me is if the cameraman wasn’t a Reuters/AP employee.

Oh great , now if true, which I highly doubt Obama will force our forces into the pink bayonet squad and send C-130’s full of stuffed animals.

You may be right. It would be interesting to find out.
