The controversial website WikiLeaks is expected to release 400,000 documents related to the war in Iraq.
The last huge WikiLeaks leak came in July when the site published what was dubbed The Afghan Diary, a compilation of more than 70,000 classified documents about the Afghanistan war. WikiLeaks was heavily criticized by human rights organizations, leaders within the U.S. government, high-ranking Pentagon officials and security experts for publishing the names of Afghan informants, thereby possibly putting their lives at risk.
Bradley Manning, who served as an intelligence analyst in Iraq, is the military's focus in the investigation into the leaks. The 22-year-old remains behind bars in Washington.
Since the July leak, WikiLeaks as an organization has suffered as a criminal investigation against its director Julian Assange continues in Sweden and several volunteers have quit. The company that was collecting donations for WikiLeaks recently ended its business relationship with the site.
