Close United States diplomatic cables leak

The United States diplomatic cables leak began on 28 November 2010 when the website WikiLeaks and five major newspapers published a cache of confidential documents that detail correspondence between the U.S. State Department and its diplomatic missions around the world. The publication of the U.S. embassy cables is the third in a series of U.S. classified document "megaleaks" distributed by WikiLeaks in 2010, following the Afghan War documents leak in July, and the Iraq War documents leak in October. The first 291 of the 251,287 documents were published on 28 November, with simultaneous press coverage from El País (Spain), Le Monde (France), Der Spiegel (Germany), The Guardian (United Kingdom), and The New York Times (United States).[1][2] Over 130,000 of the documents are unclassified; none are classified as "top secret" on the classification scale; some 100,000 are labeled "confidential"; and about 15,000 documents have the higher classification "secret".[1][3] WikiLeaks plans to release the entirety of the cables in phases over several months.[2]

The cables describe international affairs from 274 embassies dated from 1966–2010. The content includes diplomatic analysis of world leaders, an assessment of host countries, and discussion about many international and domestic issues, from the Middle East to nuclear disarmament, from the War on Terror to attempts to close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

Reactions to the leak ranged from negative to positive. Western governments expressed strong disapproval and condemnation, and criticized WikiLeaks for potentially jeopardizing international relations and global security. The leak also generated intense interest from the public, journalists, and media analysts. WikiLeaks received support from some commentators who questioned the necessity of government secrecy in a democracy that serves the interests of its people and depends on an informed electorate. Political leaders referred to Julian Assange, editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, as a criminal and "enemy combatant", and while many called for his arrest, blame was also placed on the U.S. Department of Defense for security lapses that led to the leak. Supporters of Assange have referred to him as a hero and a champion of free speech and freedom of the press, in a world where the media no longer acts as a watchdog of the public and private sector. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that an "open and transparent government is something that the President believes is truly important. But the stealing of classified information and its dissemination is a crime".[4]
