WIKILEAKS revelations added 15,000 civilians to the known numbers of those dead in the Iraq war, Julian Assange's extradition hearing heard today.
The finding, along with other revelations about the Afghan and Iraq wars, fundamentally challenged the US and British narrative of military successes, University of Bradford’s peace studies professor Paul Rogers told the court.
Prof Rogers, who is contracted by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to train British soldiers, also suggested that Wikileaks exposures had dampened US and British government enthusiasm for military intervention.
