This is this generation's version of the Vietnam war coverage, since TV reports can't be trusted anymore.

So far I haven't encountered anything that wasn't publicly-available knowledge already.<p>For example, the Pakistani intelligence agency is well-known for harboring Al Qaeda sympathizers.<p>This is why the Pakistan government was largely left out of the loop during the Battle of Tora Bora. In fact, its been hypothesized by many Army and CIA officials that ISI personnel likely helped Bin Laden escape and provided him safe passage into Pakistan.

The wikileaks reports do not seem very damaging to the U.S. Both U.S. and international news seems to be focusing heavily on Pakistan and Hamid Gul.
