Multiple news agencies are reporting that the Pentagon has [0]demanded
the return of WikiLeaks' collection of secret documents relating to
[1]the war in Afghanistan. Defense Department spokesman Geoff Morrell
said, "The only acceptable course is for WikiLeaks to take steps
immediately to [2]return all versions of all of these documents to the US
government and permanently delete them from its website, computers and
records." According to the BBC, Morrell also "acknowledged the
already-leaked documents' viral spread across the internet made it
unlikely they could ever be quashed," but hopes to prevent the
dissemination of a further 15,000 documents WikiLeaks is reportedly in
the process of redacting. "We're looking to have a conversation about how
to get these perilous documents off the website as soon as possible,
return them to their rightful owners and expunge them from their
records." WikiLeaks, predictably, shows no sign of cooperating.
