    From C4 site " Channel 4 is the only UK broadcaster to have been given access to nearly 400,000 secret military significant activities reports (SIGACTS) logged by the US military in Iraq between 2004 and 2009."

    Not sure where wikileaks come into it but whatever you think.

    look at the links in the wikileaks thread which would lead you here and a further click here, which is where dispatches got all their information, or just watch the show you posted a link to and a few minutes in you will hear somthing along the lines of
    "dispatches has gained this information after it was released by wikileaks, the whistle blowers website....."

    I watched it twice and the key differance between ths documentary and reading about wikileaked documents is that Coalition troops, Iraqi civilians and Intenational Accredited experts are interviewed in relation to each incident - to me this is entirely different from reading something written up by an officer on the scene. Nowhere in wikileaks will you get interviews like these, cross referenced and independently examined. Its also entirely different to look at the face of a person while they are telling their version.
