The U.S. military and the Pentagon are bracing for an expected publication of 400, 000 Iraq war documents on WikiLeaks, a website devoted to publishing leaked sensitive documents anonymously, BBC reported.

The size of this round of documents dwarfs the website's publication of nearly 100,000 war documents in July related to Afghanistan.

Though information is scarce, and reports vary, the publication of the Iraq war documents could come as early as Monday or Tuesday this week.

What do you think of the release? Does public interest override national security? Take our survey.
