If this is all true ,
Then these Documents are a Death Sentence for Hundreds of Afghanistan Natives who have already risked their lives for helping the U.S. towards the goal of defeating the Taliban !
And as Afghanistan officials say ,
The U.S. is both morally and legally responsible for any harm that the leaks might cause to the individuals, particularly those who have been named.
Then we should hold the founder of Wikileaks , Julian Assange , responsible for every last death resulting from his releasing of the Documents also !
Foxnews
Hundreds of Afghan lives have been put at risk by the leaking of 90,000 intelligence documents to WikiLeaks because the files identify informants working with NATO forces.
In just two hours of searching the WikiLeaks archive, The Times of London found the names of dozens of Afghans credited with providing detailed intelligence to U.S. forces. Their villages are given for identification and also, in many cases, their fathers' names.
U.S. officers recorded detailed logs of the information fed to them by named local informants, particularly tribal elders.
Julian Assange, the Australian founder of WikiLeaks, claimed on Monday that all the documents released through his organisation had been checked for named informants and that 15,000 such documents had been held back.
The Afghan Government has reacted with horror to the volume of information contained in the files.
A senior official at the Afghan Foreign Ministry, who declined to be named, said: "The leaks certainly have put in real risk and danger the lives and integrity of many Afghans. The U.S. is both morally and legally responsible for any harm that the leaks might cause to the individuals, particularly those who have been named. It will further limit the U.S./international access to the uncensored views of Afghans."

Ajmal Kasab gets what he gave: Death
Yep ! He gets what he deserves !
The Times of India
MUMBAI: "You have been sentenced to death on four counts. You will be hanged by the neck till you are dead. Yeh hamara tareeka hai (This is our way)," judge M L Tahaliyani told Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab, bringing him to justice 17 months after he and his nine accomplices held Mumbai to a 60-hour siege and killed 166 innocent men, women and children.
The mood in the courtroom was sombre. Kasab did not react. He kept his head down and was immediately whisked away after the pronouncement of the sentence. Throughout the afternoon, the baby-faced killer sat absolutely still in the box while the judge gave detailed reasons why it was necessary to give him the harshest possible penalty under the Indian law. "This man has lost the right to get any humanitarian relief," Tahaliyani observed.
The court held that in view of the depravity of Kasab's crimes, any chance of his reform or rehabilitation was "totally ruled out". Describing the 22-year-old Lashkar-trained terrorist as "a menace to society", Tahaliyani specifically alluded to the 1999 Kandahar case in 1999, when an Indian plane was hijacked to free dangerous terrorists who were imprisoned at the time. "Keeping him alive would be a constant danger to government and the state," he said.

Five sentenced to death over Iran vote unrest
No trial ? Death sentences , what a shock !
No Human rights violations here ...Move along !
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Five people have been sentenced to death and 81 have received jail terms of up to 15 years in connection with unrest after Iran's disputed election in June, state broadcaster IRIB reported on Tuesday.
Citing a statement by the public relations office of Tehran's provincial court listing verdicts issued so far over post-vote incidents, it said those sentenced to death were affiliated to or members of "counter-revolutionary groups."
The same court said last month that death sentences had been handed down against three people over the street unrest and links to exiled opposition organizations.
It was not immediately clear if the five cited in Tuesday's statement were the same as those reported by an Iranian rights group earlier this week to have been sentenced to death.
The IRIB report did not name any of the accused nor say when the sentences were handed down.

World Church body to Pakistan: Drop death penalty for blasphemy
The World Council of Churches has called Pakistan to drop it's mandatory death sentence for blasphemy. There should be no punishment for blasphemy. USA Today
GENEVA — The World Council of Churches is calling on Pakistan to repeal the mandatory death penalty for blasphemy in the country's penal code.
The WCC's governing body, which met in Geneva Aug. 26-Sept. 2, issued a statement Tuesday (Sept. 1) urging Pakistan to "guarantee the rights of all religious minorities in the country."
The church council said the law has become "a major source of victimization and persecution" of religious minorities who are living "in a state of fear and terror."
Since the penal code of Pakistan was amended in 1986, "Christians in particular have become targets of harassments and persecutions," according to the WCC, which also noted that human rights organizations say blasphemy accusations are often used to have people imprisoned over business or land disputes.

Former muslim facing death threats in Egypt
Islamic tolerance alert... Bos News LifeCAIRO, EGYPT (BosNewsLife)-- A former Muslim who converted to Christianity in Egypt was in hiding Sunday, March 8, after Islamic lawyers demanded that he be executed on charges of "apostasy," Egyptian Christians and rights investigators monitoring the trial said.
Middle East Concern (MEC), an advocacy group with closely follows the case, told BosNewsLife that Maher Ahmad El-Mo’otahssem Bellah El-Gohary has been trying to obtain identification papers with Christianity designated as his religion, despite death threats.
"Maher is involved in a legal battle to officially change his religious registration from Islam
to Christianity so that both he and his daughter may be identified as Christians," MEC said.
However at a trial on February 22 some 20 Islamic lawyers strongly opposed that move, MEC and other sources said.
Egyptian law allows Muslim lawyers to become involved in a court case if they believe the outcome will run counter to Islamic law "harmful" to society. "These lawyers described Maher as an apostate from Islam and asked that he be sentenced to death," MEC said.

Man Faces Death Sentence in Iran for Converting to Christianity
Behold islamic tolerance. This would have nothing to do with this Volume 9, Book 84, Number 57
Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn 'Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's Apostle forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'". Would it?

Tehran, 23 Sept. (AKI) - Iranian Christian convert Ramtin Soudmand faces the death penalty after being jailed for the crime of 'ertedad' or abandoning the Muslim faith.
Ramtin's father Hossein Soudmand, a Protestant pastor, was executed almost 20 years ago for converting to Christianity and refusing to deny his new faith.
Married with two children, Soudmand was detained by security officials in Mashad about a month ago.
"The authorities have not yet charged my brother with any crime, but we fear that his charges will be formalised after the execution of the sentence, like what happened with my father," said Ramtin's sister, Rashin in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).
"The thing that bothers us the most is the silence by political and religious authorities of Christian countries, and not the attitude of the Islamic Republic that does not recognise the freedom of its citizens to choose their own faith," Rashin said.He does have a point there.
