"We Believe That leads to transparency in government Activities Reduced corruption, Stronger and better government Democracies "- WikiLeaks.
On July 25, 2010, WikiLeaks, a site that allows anonymous publication of documents and records confidential or not intended for public distribution, has an impressive collection of online documents (over 90 000) on the conflict in Afghanistan from military and American intelligence services.
Most of these documents, gathered in a collection entitled Afghan War Diary, is confidential.
The material is of great interest not just in terms of purely technical and operational (WikiLeaks assures that have not been published documents relating to top-secret or those that could endanger the lives of soldiers and workers involved in the Afghan theater) but in terms of political and strategic assessments on developments in the conflict.
The last picture drawn from the reports, reports and transcripts of interviews and evaluations revealed by Wikileaks is in deep dystonia with the official statements made over the last five years of military operations.
In particular, the results achieved so far by the coalition forces committed to fighting the Taliban guerrillas are less than modest and the goal of victory is much farther away - if not impossible - to what has previously been said.
This is not an unexpected surprise: the U.S. and NATO military operations against the Taliban began in 2001 and the very fact that after nearly a decade of war, the situation of the country is far from stable reveals that things are not go as expected, and justifies a pessimistic assessment of the duration of the conflict and its outcome.
The documents also show that Pakistan's role in backing and supporting the Taliban insurgency, an issue discussed at the political and the media in recent years but now stands out as key reason for the inability to have the guerrilla.
The whole story, however, offers a starting point for some interesting considerations in terms of credibility of conspiracy theories about September 11th (and beyond).
On the one hand, in fact, documents released by WikiLeaks show that the war in Afghanistan has no other reasons than those already known: to destroy the foundations of al-Qaeda operative, to prevent the return of the Taliban and stabilizing the country with a system of democratic government. There is no trace of self-inflicted terrorist attacks to justify invading the country, so to speak.
Second, and most importantly, the fact that tens of thousands of secret documents relating to an ongoing conflict are over rights to WikiLeaks, ready to be downloaded by anyone, shows that it is impossible to hide l'esistenza di un complotto come quello che - secondo le teorie dei cospirazionisti - si sarebbe consumato l'11 settembre del 2001.
Se si riflette sull'enorme numero di persone che avrebbe dovuto concorrere non solo alla fase strettamente operativa del complotto (minare 3 grattacieli, inibire la difesa aerea, far sparire quattro aerei di linea con tutti i passeggeri) ma anche a tutti gli altri aspetti connessi (costruire finte identità per i terroristi kamikaze, costruire le confessioni di quelli arrestati, simulare le rivendicazioni di bin Laden, deviare le inchieste, corrompere i migliori ingegneri del mondo, e così via), e sulla facilità con cui documenti riservati finiscono nelle mani di chi è pronto a diffonderli (oggi WikiLeaks talk about, but we also FinnList which listed affiliates and sponsors of al-Qaeda) is a foregone conclusion that a conspiracy of this magnitude would be revealed well before reaching the operational phase.
We can only agree that initiatives like WikiLeaks are a pillar of our democracy and a magnificent example of what should really meant by "seeker of truth."
