WASHINGTON DC, USA – The first batch of 250,000 US diplomatic cables intercepted by Wikileaks has been released by the media.
- Documents include unflattering portrayals of world leaders, as well as revelations that US government ordered espionage against top UN officials, Saudi Arabia has strongly urged military strikes against Iran, North Korea has transferred ballistic missiles to Iran, and hacking of Google was authorized by the Chinese Politburo.
- UN reminds US to respect organization’s international immunities.
- Subdued public reaction by most governments, with France and the UK pledging support to the US; Iran condemns release as US propaganda effort, and China blocks domestic media from reporting leaks.
- Furious reaction from US politicians, with some calling for Wikileaks to be shut down and founders to be prosecuted as terrorists.
- Leaks are likely to impact US intelligence-gathering and collaboration with allies.
