(CNN) -- WikiLeaks has published a secret U.S. diplomatic cable listing locations abroad that the U.S. considers vital to its national security, prompting criticism that the website is inviting terrorist attacks on American interests.

The list is part of a lengthy cable the State Department sent in February 2009 to its posts around the world. The cable asked American diplomats to identify key resources, facilities and installations outside the United States "whose loss could critically impact the public health, economic security, and/or national and homeland security of the United States."

The diplomats identified dozens of places on every continent, including mines, manufacturing complexes, ports and research establishments. CNN is not publishing specific details from the list, which refers to pipelines and undersea telecommunications cables as well as the location of minerals or chemicals critical to U.S. industry.

The list also mentions dams close to the U.S. border and a telecommunications hub whose destruction might seriously disrupt global communications. Diplomats also identified sites of strategic importance for supplying U.S. forces and interests abroad, such as in the Strait of Hormuz, the Persian Gulf and the Panama Canal.

The cable is classified secret and not for review by non-U.S. personnel.

Julian Assange should be whacked....
But really which retards put together these linked databases where 3 million people (so they say) had intranet computer access to State Department cables. Whatever happened to “need to know”?

That Lady Gaga gayer than gay Bradley Manning in US Army intel should never had access to these cables.... He leaked them to gayish looking Assange. Two pathetic wimps looking for notoriety in this media age

An FDR, Harry Truman, Eisenhower, etc, would have just taken him out.

What if someone like, say, FDR turns out to be an enemy of America?

Look, when this communist administration and its media lapdogs teams up against someone or something, it's best to think really hard before joining them. It's worth noting that few of Obama's enemies are enemies of the people of this country, while more than a few of his friends are enemies of the people of this country.

I want to know what all information has actually been leaked, and who it effects before I will pass judgement. If Obama doesn't like him, and if the liberal media doesn't like him, then I'm inclined to give him a fair shake before I stand against him myself.
