and we also know from those sorts of cases that we've dealt with previously that we always get pushback and we never we review abuse by some of what i say should we always get that organization or its friends pushing back to try and steer the message away from the allegations that have been raised and one of the main criticisms has been leveled at you is that you have published the villages the names and in some cases the g.p.s. coordinates of people afghans who cooperated with the u.s. military and you even come under some criticism from human rights organizations for that and a u.s. official has called it a potential hit list for the taliban what's your response to that you know this appears the mostly be media beat up i mean where we're looking at these you seriously to see whether that is true we did hold back people being thousand reports full for the because they had this sort of classification that suggested maybe they contain that sort of material we approached the white house to austin

for assistance in reviewing material before we published the white house we don't accept that request. now. all of this is coming from the times of london and the times did not tell us about any of these reports whatsoever in fact today i see that there is a title of an article afghan men already did but actually if you read the article what you see at the very bottom is in fact that the man died two years ago. at this stage we're looking at this is mostly a media beat up of course we're very concerned to make sure innocents are protected so we're very happy to receive any evidence which report is possibly revealing information about someone who is who is innocent. but once again at this stage we have not confirmed those allegations at all in fact we've actually looked at them

and we see that those allegations are not correct there's also been a suggestion that the release of this information will make it harder for allied forces to get afghans this is to cooperate with them while what we reveal and that's what we've been doing for the path for years is the truth about how when i was asians actually behave you know if afghans don't like how those organizations actually behave then of course these they arrived to engage with them or not engage with them it's not so much that there is a i think it's the potential danger that they might be in now that such a huge body of information in the public to may once again that is an allegation by the london times and a publication who is in a oppositional relationship to the guardian paper that we collaborated with printed fourteen pages on monday innovation to this issue the times of london printed the pages in relation to this issue on monday so they are in now in an adversary relationship because they weren't interested to the party this is being

a media sensation you release the information especially to selected media outlets three newspapers and since then you've given. must amount to up to one hundred media interviews including apparently the larry king show or your publicist well that's just ridiculous i mean. far from that in fact we try to have no problem we try to work under the same rules that that the economist runs on them where everyone has a. shared byline. we have found that the public the most that someone speak for organization now and because of the security threats to this sort of work we do. not many people who are going to step forward and speak. in the end someone has to do it i was already a public figure so i am the person. who does that these documents date from the period between two thousand and four and two thousand and i why have you published

them not only a when they could have made more of a difference in what we are in the receiving material you know recently we published as soon as possible what did the process is you go through between receiving it and publishing it took me through that when we received material like this it is very you know this is very difficult to read this is it's an internal military language internal jargon the format it's some computer format in fact impossible for a normal person to read so we had to understand the format real reform at this make it in a presentable way and then explore the material to pull it out of the stories and set up. a coalition of media groups to do just that so it took quite quite a lot of work not just from us but also the other three organizations involved and there must be a huge amount of expertise involved in doing something like that as well where does your expertise in the expertise of your organization come from and we have an eight

hundred people involved specialists in different areas different regional areas computer specialists in india. in different ways former intelligence officers and so on and we draw on that expertise to try to understand material like this now washington says that these documents are outdated says is there any truth to that claim or it depends on what you're talking about if you're talking about how the war has progressed of course they know that the war has been going since two thousand and one that's nine years this material covers the last six years with the exception of the last seven months now that exception is in accordance to some degree it means that it is not all tactical. significance of it doesn't talk about troops who are about just about to do something which means it is over a century no threat to. u.s.

military forces but is deeply important for understanding the purpose of the war now that the white house say that while the material only goes up to december a new say but we would least obama's policy on the war but obama's new policy on the war was in fact a continuation of the previous policy except more troops so why shouldn't the war change so dramatically just because it's really been one of policy changes being put in place if we look back through the material and we see. when the last people to see change was that was when mcchrystal came in and so we can see from the archives that mcchrystal big changes in policy didn't seem to result in big changes on the ground there's no reason to believe that obama's small change in policy. in december of last year resulted in any real change. for the war except perhaps to increase the tempo and increase the number of

interactions because there was an increase and so does the white house's rhetorical trick was to. say c.j. . yes there was in fact no overlap between obama's policy and this material in fact obama's policy came into same prefers and this material carries through in fact to the individual you've said that the under reporting of civilian casualties starts at the both seven with this sort of cullman soldiery and that really no policy change at the top is going to filter down into that what do you think could make a difference the stream we hard situation i mean i can't see any easy way out of this afghan lives and the answer is not. and forces will i say for members to. go home tomorrow. because that would lead to a power vacuum and so on for it i mean we had serious probably a staged withdrawal. making agreements between the taliban and

the afghan government as that stage was drawn continues and perhaps private. as well. they will be a continuation of continual super war in afghanistan i mean even if a peace allusion is made. predict there will be a continuation of the civil war and we're going to be once forces have established some kind of equilibrium that we will see an increase towards peace no easy options are on the table i'm sure stands to gain from the release of all this information with the afghan people i mean that is their country and this is the history of their country and if they are to affect if we manage and control their own destiny they need this information to understand what is happening to their country but we can also say. you know it's people united states. u.k.

strayer and others in the coalition who actually paying for all this war and he was sending its soldiers to be killed in this war and those people also have the rights to understand what is actually happening but probably not benefit it is all those military companies. who are making extraordinary profits by providing service services to troops weapons or clothing and so on but isn't the taliban the afghan insurgency likely to gain from this as well because you have inadvertently maybe exposed the weaknesses of the allied forces we have to be careful there remember this is a civil war. everyone says tell about it but in fact the taliban are i've got news this is a civil war that is going on and that the taliban are part of the. of the

afghan people and they're also part of the will perhaps of the i.s.i. the pakistani secret intelligence service and of course perhaps that part of the will move saudi arabia he's keeping some money to this but in terms of the bodies on the ground people who actually do the work the taliban is part of the will of the afghan people and. the united states and other forces need to recognize any understand that that is part of the afghan people and if you shooting taliban you were shooting the afghan people. that doesn't mean that they. don't have blood on their hands as well we added up the number of i.e.d. events represented the material exploded explosions sort of you know brain provides explosive devices and over two thousand civilians were killed by i.d.'s. and exploded was placed on a road to blow up a passing convoy but an afghan family causes in their car to go off and blow them

up so this material doesn't paint the behavior of any. any military group in the us why it has blood on them on all sides judy now sauce thank you very much. no. you say. you.

love it. but.
