Credit: Reuters/Larry Downing By Arshad Mohammed and Ross Colvin WASHINGTON | Mon Nov 29, 2010 10:45am EST WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saudi King Abdullah has repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran's nuclear program and China directed cyberattacks on the United States, according to a vast cache of diplomatic cables released on Sunday in an embarrassing leak that undermines U.S. diplomacy. The more than 250,000 documents, given to five media groups by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, provide candid and at times critical views of foreign leaders as well as sensitive information on terrorism and nuclear proliferation filed by U.S. diplomats, according to The New York Times. The White House condemned the release by WikiLeaks and said the disclosures may endanger U.S. informants abroad. WikiLeaks said its website was under attack and none of the underlying cables was visible there Sunday night, though some were posted by news organizations. Among the revelations in Britain's Guardian newspaper, which also received an advance look at the documents along with France's Le Monde, Germany's Der Spiegel and Spain's El Pais, King Abdullah is reported to have "frequently exhorted the U.S. to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons program." "Cut off the head of the snake," the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Adel al-Jubeir, quotes the king as saying during a meeting with General David Petraeus in April 2008. The leaked documents, the majority of which are from 2007 or later, also disclose U.S. allegations that China's Politburo directed an intrusion into Google's computer systems, part of a broader coordinated campaign of computer sabotage carried out by Chinese government operatives, private security experts and Internet outlaws, the Times reported. MEDVEDEV "PLAYS ROBIN TO PUTIN'S BATMAN" As described by German news weekly Der Spiegel, the cables contain tart comments such as a U.S. diplomat's description of German Chancellor Angela Merkel as someone who "avoids risk and is seldom creative." Another document described by The New York Times cites a U.S. embassy cable raising the possibility that Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi may have had a romantic relationship with his Ukranian nurse, who is described as a "voluptuous blonde." The newspaper said many of the cables name diplomats' confidential sources, from foreign lawmakers and military officers to human rights activists and journalists, often with a warning: "Please protect" or "Strictly protect." Comments such a description of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's head of state, as playing "Robin to (Prime Minister Vladimir) Putin's Batman," are sure to embarrass the Obama administration and to complicate its diplomacy. The White House said the release of the documents could endanger the lives of people who live under "oppressive regimes" and "deeply impact" the foreign policy interests of the United States, its allies and partners around the world. "To be clear -- such disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. "By releasing stolen and classified documents, WikiLeaks has put at risk not only the cause of human rights but also the lives and work of these individuals," he said.

Unfortunately individuals may pay the ultimate price but vastly more people may benefit. Better judgments will be made on future issues based on what is learned from this info. bboodrybb Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 7:59pm EST This is of course more open than the administration would wish, but might ultimately be useful. If nothing else, It to illuminates to detracters the reality of the world. And oh yes, tell Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East to do their own dirty work. rockcreekdc Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:27pm EST Sickening. Saudi harboured the 9/11 terrorists. THIS administration sells then 60 billion in weapons and the 3000+ dead fellow Americans are forgotten. Perhaps let Iran take care of the SAUDI threat. isb Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:28pm EST Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:33pm EST It amazes me that all these other countries expect us to fight their battles. Oh yes, then pay for it with our tax money. Does the term “Uncle Sap’ ring a bell? We live in a world with certified psychotic lunatics and takers beyond comprehension. 209flyboy Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:36pm EST These leaks may represent a serious blow to the legitimacy of our government and our ability to deal politically. As individuals in an ideal situation, we would like more transparency in international affairs, however, we do not live in an ideal state, and we can assume that secure back channels are necessary for much of our productive intelligence and diplomatic communications. As interesting as many of these leaks are to the general public, I cannot believe it prudent to betray the trust of individuals who are already risking everything to help ensure national security and international calm. yangwc Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:40pm EST As commented above, sunlight is a disinfectant — it also can cause melanoma — anyone who thinks that this publication is only positive (all good) or only negative (all bad) is naive — the principle long-term consequence of this will be the tightening of information controls in the higher levels of government(s) — that is, more secrecy, rather than more openness. tangogo68 Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:42pm EST What goes around, comes around. fr0mthewater Report As Abusive lis 28, 2010 8:42pm EST I am beginning to think that the entire Wiki-leaks premise is a fabrication. It seems that this venue can be used for airing ideas that promote the agenda of the various political powers. Now we can justifiably bomb Iran without the bulk of the blame going to Israel.
