It is the biggest leak of military secrets in history. Al Jazeera has details of nearly 400,000 classified US documents. They are the secret Iraq files, leaked to whistleblower website WikiLeaks.

Tony Hopfinger, editor of Alaska Dispatch, was arrested at a "town hall" meeting for Alaskan US Senate candidate Joe Miller when he asked questions regarding charges that the candidate had misappropriated public resources for political purposes at a previous post he had allegedly been dismissed from.

It is against the law and un-Constitutional for active-duty military personnel to participate in political activism.
