WikiLeaks hypes its new classified info

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- The online whistleblower group WikiLeaks is promoting its release of more classified U.S. documents, claiming to have the Pentagon "hyperventilating" in fear.

The release on the Twitter feed by the group that published classified U.S. documents pertaining to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in July and last month claimed its newest revelations were "seven times the size of the Iraq war logs," Politico reported.

Clearly to pique media attention, the group declined to say when it would post the information it claims would embarrass the United States.

"The Pentagon is hyperventilating again over fears of being held to account," the release said.

Meanwhile, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said at a Wednesday news conference in Washington the group was endangering lives and international relationships.

'We continue to make clear that this is harmful to our national security. It does put lives at risk. It does put national interests at risk," Crowley said.

Various reports Wednesday said U.S. officials had notified Canada and other allies likely mentioned in the diplomatic correspondence of the pending release.
