You've spoken about injustice - but what injustice is actually exposed in this leak?

So we can see a broad range of suspicious events. 181 people killed, with no proper description of why. On one day, only one person wounded, no captives and only one US soldier killed. Many of these events have a disparity and they need to be investigated. We also see hundreds, and there's probably thousands of a child killed here, a girl killed there, people taken to hospital, lots of corruption by NDS - the Afghan Intelligence agency, and of course Taliban abuses, IEDs and blowing up hotels and so on.

Thousands of journalists have been to Afghanistan, hundreds of books have been written - will this publication shift our opinion of the war?

Yes, I think it will. This material is all positioned by time and geography. Precise co-ordinates. It involves every minor and major action undertaken by the US military. So it provides a whole map, if you like, through time, of what has happened during this war. And those books and the other journalism can all be placed on this map. So it's a cohesive picture of the whole lot and statistical work can be done on this. This is the raw ingredient the US military uses to draw its own statistics. So we can look at things like the ratio of killed to wounded in different provinces and regions. It is an extraordinary body of work for academics, historians, HR investigations, the public and journalists to study.
