Iraqi PM criticises only timing of Wikileaks,not deny

Nouri Maliki has criticised the timing of the release by Wikileaks of almost 400,000 secret US military documents about the conflict there.

Maliki is trying to keep his job after inconclusive elections in March.

Wiki Leaks "said" the disclosure was target at revealing the truth about the war.

The founder, Julian Assange, said the records showed there had been "a bloodbath on every corner" and provided evidence of war crimes against U.S and allies.

We are hope to correct some of that attack on the truth that occurred before the war, during the war and which has continued on since the war officially concluded," he told a news conference in London.

But from U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, strongly deny the disclosure of classified information.

Wiki Leaks revelations have attracted relatively little interest among Iraqis, although they triggered an angry response from the office of Prime Minister Nouri Maliki timing of that leaks.

Mr Maliki's office also said the records did not present any proof of these abuses and torture practices with Iraqi citizens, detainees being tortured in Iraqi-run facilities during his premiership

Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc of the former Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi, said the allegations demonstrated why it was important to have a power-sharing government, and why Mr Maliki should step aside.

"Keep all the security powers in the hands of one person, who is the general commander of the armed forces, have led to these abuses and torture practices in Iraqi illegal prisons," spokeswoman Maysoun al-Damlouji told the Associated Press.

"Maliki wants to have all powers in his hands,"to do white to black and black to white" she added.
