If you took the time to look over the WikiLeaks releases on their website, you will see many names and locations blocked out. It isn't
all released willy-nilly. In fact, as Assange has stated, WikiLeaks worked with those newspapers I mentioned to blot out what they felt to be dangerous names and locations. WikiLeaks also went to the DoD and asked them to assist them in removing all names and locations that could be deemed dangerous, the normal practice when newspapers release leaked, classified info, but they
refused. Besides that, Gibbs came out awhile ago and stated the Afghan/Iraq war docs were not that big a deal after all (they helped to edit some of those ones).
You can access a fairly wide-ranging cache of docs on the Guardian website itself.
