Time Magazine Lies About Number Of Iraq Civilian Casualties Exposed by Wikileaks. 66,000 Civilians Dead Magically Becomes 15,000
An article in Time Magazine today by Tara Kelly clearly misrepresents the number of civilians killed in Iraq exposed by Wikileaks.
The article reads:
At a packed press conference held in hotel in Central London Saturday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange declared, "This disclosure is about the truth. We hope to correct some of that attack on the truth that occurred before the war, during the war, and which has continued on since the war officially concluded." Added the tall, wan, Australian-accented Assange: "There are approximately 15,000 civilians killed by violence in Iraq. That tremendous scale should not make us blind to the small human scale in this material. It is the deaths of one and two people per event that killed the overwhelming number of people in Iraq."
Watch a clip from the press conference yourself below. You can clearly hear (at 1:35 on video) that the real statement of Julian Assange is that "We have seen that there are approximately 15,000 never previously documented or known cases of civilians who have been killed by violence in Iraq."
Just a few seconds earlier at 1:20 you can hear Julian Assange say that they have discovered the number of civilian casualties in Iraq documented in the reports to be some 66,000 people.

Wikileaks defends Iraq logs publication; Wikileaks Press Conference
From BBC.
The founder of whistleblowing website Wikileaks has defended its decision to publish thousands of secret US military documents on the Iraq war.
Julian Assange told reporters at a news conference: "This disclosure is about the truth".
The documents suggest US commanders ignored evidence of torture by the Iraqi authorities, and are said to reveal more than 15,000 previously unreported civillian deaths.
A US Department of Defense spokesman dismissed the logs as raw observations by tactical units, which were only snapshots of tragic events.
