The White House is imploring the website WikiLeaks not to post any more classified documents about the Afghanistan war, saying US national security and Afghan lives are at risk. Press secretary Robert Gibbs says the leak of tens of thousands of secret military documents already has jeopardised the lives of Afghans working with the US and its war allies.
Gibbs says the Taliban has declared it will comb the documents for the names of people who have co-operated with international forces in Afghanistan. Interviewed Friday on NBC television's ``Today' show, Gibbs said the release of another 15,000 documents reportedly still held by WikiLeaks would do more damage. Gibbs says the White House ``can do nothing but implore the person who has the documents not to post any more.'
