If this New York Times take is true, Good!  Let’s hope the WikiLeaks documents do lead to less support for the war.

Administration officials acknowledged that the documents, released on the Internet by an organization called WikiLeaks, will make it harder for Mr. Obama as he tries to hang on to public and Congressional support until the end of the year, when he has scheduled a review of the war effort.

On the other hand, the Washington Post leads with how the leaks will cause “little concern over public perception of war.”

The posting of the documents Sunday night by the group WikiLeaks.org could complicate House approval of $37 billion in emergency war funding for Afghanistan and Iraq that has cleared the Senate, but it is expected to pass.
