Return Afghan War logs,US tells WikiLeaks

Most of Morrells briefing focused on the information WikiLeaks had already made public. But Pentagon officials are especially concerned about 15,000 additional documents that WikiLeaks has withheld so far to remove identifying information.

Public disclosure of additional Defense Department classified information can only make the damage worse, Morrell said. We are asking them to do the right thing. We hope they will honour our demands and comply with our demands.

Morrells appeal is the Obama administrations latest response to the disclosure,which has set off a criminal inquiry by the Army and the FBI.
