WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says the U.S. Army has expressed willingness to discuss the online whistleblower’s request for help in reviewing classified documents from the Afghan war and removing information that could harm civilians.

WikiLeaks has asked the Pentagon for help in reviewing the documents to purge the names of Afghan informants from the files.
