The State Department says Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks minions broke the law today by releasing the first of over 250,000 classified documents. It's an embarrassing moment for America, says the Daily Mail:

In what was branded 'the 9/11 of world diplomacy', leaked U.S. embassy cables revealed everything from secret discussions on bombing Iran to 'inappropriate behaviour' by a member of the Royal Family.

Most seriously for Washington, they also showed the U.S. had ordered a spying operation on diplomats at the United Nations, including British officials, in apparent breach of international law.

U.S. staff in embassies around the world were ordered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to obtain frequent flyer numbers, credit card details and even iris scans, fingerprints and DNA of foreign officials.

This means big trouble for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and could mean the end of her presidential aspirations (Of course, she still has them), not to mention that there will certainly be calls for her resignation.
