An American politician has called for WikiLeaks to be designated a terrorist organisation following the release of the latest batch of leaked documents.
New York Republican Peter King said the organisation was a "clear and present danger" to the US.
"WikiLeaks presents a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States," he said. "I strongly urge you (Foreign Secretary Hillary Clinton) to work within the Administration to use every offensive capability of the US government to prevent further damaging releases by WikiLeaks."
The Foreign Office said the actions of WikiLeaks risked British lives and security.
"We condemn any unauthorised release of this classified information, just as we condemn leaks of classified material in the UK," a spokesman said.
"They can damage national security, are not in the national interest and, as the US have said, may put lives at risk."
The White House was also critical of the leak of US cables.
"These cables could compromise private discussions with foreign governments and opposition leaders, and when the substance of private conversations is printed on the front pages of newspapers across the world, it can deeply impact not only US foreign policy interests, but those of our allies and friends around the world," a spokesman said.

Absolutely. These people should be arrested, tried and hung. If that’s not possible, liquidated through a hit squad.
If the BO Gov. can assume control of selective sites of their choosing, then why did they not also do this with Wikileaks? As far as I’m concerned they are equally as guilty for letting this take off.
This is looking very bad for the US on the world stage in that trust, if any, just went down the tubes...Barry S. takes another step in handing us over to global governance.
I wouldn’t go that far. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the info they leak seems to generally undermine the US and governments in the EU for the benefit of states like Iran and North Korea most of the time.
What I want to know is how and where are they getting all these documents?
I think I remember that after the first round of leaks they nailed an enlisted man with a high security clearance.
Pfc Brad Manning is taking one-for-the-team for Obama’s plan to destroy America. Manning is gay per internet research.
They had plenty of warning BEFORE these leaks... why wait until after the release to pretend to be tough?
What if they where leaking info about certain birth certificates?
Treason. Death penalty. Might actually cause some to think hard before doing the same.
He should have been impeached a long time ago.
Yes, along with whichever Czar is giving them their info.
Any foreigner assisting is engaging in espionage or is an enemy combatant and should be put down for a dirt nap in the most efficient manner possible.
Did you know that a Tomahawk cruise missile can be programmed not only to hit a specific building, but also which pane of a particular window to fly through??
Just sayin’...not that anything like that has a chance of being considered by this crew...
“What if they where leaking info about certain birth certificates?”
Huh?
These people should be arrested, tried and hung.
When you are talking about people who are hung you are talking about something not best said in mixed company.
Grammatically Correct:
These people should be arrested, tried and hanged.
“What if they where leaking info about certain birth certificates?”
Huh?
??? Where did you get that info from?
Do you know anything about Peter King? He’s been tied to a communist terrorist organization since day one.
Should be? It is.
Yes, I’m not sure of the law on that, but I suspect there is something.
