UK Defense Official Dismisses Impact of Leaked Pentagon Documents

The UK's Secretary of State for Defense, Ben Wallace, has cast doubt on the veracity of the recently leaked American intelligence documents, stating that some of the assertions are untrue and advising people not to take them at face value. He also said that the UK hasn't "skipped a heartbeat" on intelligence gathering. While US officials have repeatedly said they are taking the leak seriously, Wallace was more dismissive and said he wouldn't "be the only one who would look at those reports and see they're not entirely accurate."
