A Grim Portrait of Civilian Deaths in Iraq (Published 2010)
The reports in the archive disclosed by WikiLeaks offer an incomplete, yet startlingly graphic portrait of one of the most contentious issues in the Iraq war — how many Iraqi civilians have been killed and by whom. The reports make it clear that most civilians, by far, were killed by other Iraqis. Two of the worst days of the war came on Aug. 31, 2005, when a stampede on a bridge in Baghdad killed
WikiLeaks' Iraq war scoops.
The latest cache of WikiLeaks documents—391,832 * of them, leaked from the Pentagon’s secret archives on the Iraq war—are now up, in summarized form, on the Web sites of the New York Times, Britain’s Guardian, Le Monde, and Der Spiegel. Judging from the excerpts and analyses in the English-language papers, the documents contain a few new and interesting things, some of which may not please the war
Wikileaks: Iraq war logs 'reveal truth about conflict'
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange: "These documents are of immense importance" The founder of whistleblowing website Wikileaks has defended the release of almost 400,000 classified US documents about the war in Iraq. Julian Assange said the "intimate details" of the conflict were made public in an effort to reveal the truth about the conflict. The "war logs" suggest evidence of torture was ignored,
BBC News - What would Americans think of the French strike?
The widespread protests against the French government's plans to raise the age of retirement from 60 to 62 are part of a wider battle about the future of French society and how much the government spends to support the poor. I am going through a little bit of culture shock. For the last three years I have been based in the US. And the only protests I have covered, the only ones vocal enough to hav

Iraq war logs reveal 15,000 previously unlisted civilian deaths
Leaked Pentagon files obtained by the Guardian contain details of more than 100,000 people killed in Iraq following the US-led invasion, including more than 15,000 deaths that were previously unrecorded. British ministers have repeatedly refused to concede the existence of any official statistics on Iraqi deaths. US General Tommy Franks claimed in 2002: "We don't do body counts." The mass of leake
Iraq war logs: secret files show how US ignored torture
A grim picture of the US and Britain's legacy in Iraq has been revealed in a massive leak of American military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes. Almost 400,000 secret US army field reports have been passed to the Guardian and a number of other international media organisations via the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks. The electronic archive is believed to emanate fr
In Jail or on the Run, Karadzic and Mladic Could Still Win Bosnia's War
As my colleagues Dan Bilefsky and Doreen Carvajal report, European countries have apparently reduced the pressure on Serbia’s government to arrest Ratko Mladic, the Bosnian Serb general still wanted on war crimes charges by an international tribunal in The Hague for his part in the massacre of 8,000 men and boys after forces under his command seized the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995.

Opinion | British Fashion Victims (Published 2010)
In the spring of 2010, fiscal austerity became fashionable. I use the term advisedly: the sudden consensus among Very Serious People that everyone must balance budgets now now now wasn’t based on any kind of careful analysis. It was more like a fad, something everyone professed to believe because that was what the in-crowd was saying. And it’s a fad that has been fading lately, as evidence has acc
