Pentagon ordered ‘secret’ torture in Iraq.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange speaks during a news conference about the internet release of secret documents about the Iraq War, in London October 23, 2010.
Whistleblower website Wikileaks has released documents suggesting that the Pentagon instructed US-led forces to "secretly" torture detainees in Iraq.

In the largest-ever revelation of secret US military documents, Wikileaks has released nearly 400,000 classified reports about the US-led war in Iraq.

The documents detail more than 1,700 cases of torture kept from the public by the US government.

The leaked documents, which cover the period between January 1, 2004, and January 1, 2010, were mostly written by low-ranking officers reporting on "significant actions" in the field.

The damning war documents accuse the United States Defense Department of instructing American troops to ignore reports recounting torture.

One such document reveals how detainees were blindfolded and hung upside down before being hit on their "foot soles" and tortured by "an electrical device."

Our purpose is to secure and promote the legitimate interests of the Sri Lankan Muslims, considering as legitimate only those Muslim interests that are consistent with the national interest. It is apolitical and non profit making effort. The other reason is that Muslim politicians have been marginalized to a serious extent over many decades, and cannot therefore fully represent Muslim interests. An effective Muslim website can be useful in bringing about this change. Our aim is to unite our community to speak with one voice and to promote an understanding and interactive dialogue with other communities.
