Whistle-blower website Wikileaks on Wednesday published a CIA report on U.S. terror recruits, warning the United States could be viewed as an " exporter of terrorism," potentially complicating the country's anti-terrorism efforts abroad.
The "Red Cell" report was dated from Feb. 2, 2010. It looks at what will happen if it is internationally understood that the United States is an exporter of terrorism.
The report said that American export of terrorism or terrorists is not a recent phenomenon, nor has it been associated only with Islamic radicals or people of Middle Eastern, African or South Asian ethnic origin.
The report looks at a number of the cases of the U.S. exported terrorism, including attacks by U.S. based or financed Jewish, Muslim and Irish-nationalism terrorists, concluding that foreign perceptions of the United States as an "exporter of terrorism" together with the country's double standards in international law, may lead to noncooperation in renditions, and the decision to not share terrorism related intelligence.
This latest classified memo didn't offer eye-popping revelation such as those provided by nearly 77,000 classified U.S. military documents related to the Afghanistan war, published by the website last month. It doesn't seem to expose any U.S. state secrets.
