The Obama administration said Wednesday it has alerted Congress and begun notifying foreign governments that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive U.S. diplomatic files that could damage U.S. relations with friends and allies.
Officials said the documents may contain everything from accounts of compromising conversations with political dissidents and friendly politicians to disclosures of activities that could result in the expulsion of U.S. diplomats from foreign postings.

...Many of the cables are believed to date from the start of the Obama administration, meaning that the White House won't be able to distance itself from any disclosures.
“One concern, for example, is that the documents may reveal the kinds of pressure the Obama administration has put on various countries to accept the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees who have been cleared for release but are unwelcome in their home countries.”
I think that may be a part of this impending doc dump.
Yes, indeed.

[Thanks, Velveeta.]
Maybe, but this gives Obama an excuse to fire Clinton and hurt her chances to run for President. Disgraced SOS that allowed sensitive info to get into the wrong hands.
BO sent Wiki the material to expose President Bush and interfere with his book sales ( “Decision Points”).
Obama is a petty little fascist. He is stooping to all sorts of little fascist games.
And surely the WIki leaked material won’t damage foreign relations as much as that pretend presidential twit has already.
Someone should tar and feather Obama and frog march him to the nearest jail for treason and abrogation of citizen 4th amendment rights.
A real president would have sent a CIA team to take out WIkileaks a long time ago, if they threaten national security and our international relations.Wikileaks is engagong in actiity that threatens all Americans, but the best Obama can do is warn people that our foreign relations
will get worse.
Talk about betrayal, His failure or refusal to act in the situation is the reason such discord arise.This helps speed forward the currency wars which Obama is gleefully cheering on.
One must reason, why is this happening on Obamas’ watch... could it be part of his “Transforming America”. You weaken her, then break her so you can remake her... just sayin...
Dear Barry:
Obviously, you just haven’t talked to them yet. I’m sure if you could talk to them, they wouldn’t misbehave.
NO!
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
One thing that may be released is the back stabbing of the US state department against Israel, the attempt by clinton to dissolve the Netanyahu government in Israel (and to install Livni as PM), and the general arrogance of State..Depending on the level of documentation, it will become obvious (if not already) that the obama regime is no friend of Israel.
They are talking about Israel...and the treachery of obama and clinton.
Israel, to show state to be the snakes that they are.
Thank you for posting this. This is insanity. Who is responsible for these “leaks” in the first place?
Ask Larry King:
A telling detail: last week, Assange was a guest on the Larry King Show and the host couldn’t not ask about the allegations. Assange’s reaction was that “this is a relatively trivial matter”. After a slight pause, he sharply added that the host should be “ashamed” of bringing up this topic. Yet Larry King didn’t mince his words and retorted: “Rape is not trivial… [is] your answer – that they’re [the accusations] are false?” “These are false claims,” responded Assange. “That’s fine, that’s all we wanted to hear,” – King said.
Pfc Manning, who was upset about the treatment of gays in the military.
IOW, this could be very good for the US.
