Former US Ambassador Talks about Wikileaks: 'There Will Be Lots of Drama' - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News - International

What does the publication of more than 250.000 secret US cables mean for US foreign policy? I assume that first there will be a great deal of drama. There is a good reason why stealing documents from official archives is a criminal act. Their release could damage important cooperation among governments or in some countries endanger dissidents who have put their trust in the United States. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/former-us-ambassador-talks-about-wikileaks-there-will-be-lots-of-drama-a-731794.html
