(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.

Eric Holder calls this latest release “arrogant and misguided”. That understates the seriousnes by several magnitudes. Eric Holder and his commie boss are part of the problem.
This cannot be tolerated.
No one reads/listens/watches CNN when they can go directly to WikiLeaks and read it...DUH!
Post #11 provides the proper analysis.
Hell NO, Obama, et al are!
BO is targeting through his WikiLeaks people and places vital to US National Security throughout the World. Ambassador John Bolton was correct, BO is the greatest threat to the US.

I think so too!
But that would rob Eric Holder of his opportunity to Mirandize another enemy combatant.
What would Reagan do? We both know.
That would be the little gay twerp who was p*ssed off because he broke up with his 'boyfriend' and wanted to end 'don't ask, don't tell'...NICE! Let's invite more limp wrists to damage national security because they don't like the way the military is run. /s
Lots of good info tying BO to Wikileaks here:

The KGB spent an awful lot of time and money in their heydays to get this information. Now it’s presented with a few clicks to whoever wants it.
However the worst thing in my mind is the fact that our affirmative action president hasn’t said or done squat to stop this. He is the real traitor.
If Wikileaks is so powerful, where are the docs that prove 9-11 was an inside job? The proof there were no WMDs? Obama’s birth certificate? Prooof the CIA created AIDS? Huh Huh
Does anyone on this thread know where these leaks are REALLY coming from?
I cannot believe that all of this was in the caring hand of a mere private.
This is a deliberate leak by one or many different people.
I'm not smart enough or sly enough to dream up a possible scenario about these leaks but it is a lot bigger than Assange.
The very last entry on WikiLeaks should be:
Dec 7, 2010. It is 4:05 AM, and I am getting up a little early today. I'll fix myself a bit of toast and some coffee, and ... hey, what's that soun AHHHHHHHHH OMG HELP AUUUGGGHHHH
This is a "secret"?? As if FReepers couldn't identify most of the same places.
A more important question would be what is the US doing to secure these sites and/or have redundant facilities/suppliers available just in case?
“THIS IS TREASON.”
Technically, no. But I get your point.
I think you're mixing metaphors though.
And Holder is STILL wrestling with whether Assange is a terrorist?
This ass needs a sure and certain death. As as good and loyal American, he is my enemy.
Meanwhile Valerie Plame was a “victim” of the Bush Administration “leaking” data...
The Press needs to get their memes straight.
