Here are some interesting comments by leaders and representatives following the leaks of these documents:

After WikiLeaks' unauthorized release of a quarter of a million State Department documents Sunday, Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) called for the Swedish website to be designated a "foreign terrorist organization" and its founder Julian Assange to be charged as a spy.

I am beginning to think the word "terrorist" has lost its original meaning.
Quote:
Paris: The slow release of thousands of US diplomatic documents by WikiLeaks is a “threat to democratic authority”, French government spokesman Francois Baroin told Europe 1 radio on Monday.
“The protection of states is something serious, it’s about the protection of men, of women, of citizens,” Baroin said, adding: “I’ve always thought that a transparent society is a totalitarian society.”

Wow. Don't even know what to say about those comments from the French. They're actually kind of frightening.
Quote:
Mr Ahmadinejad shrugged off the leaks at a televised news conference on Monday, saying no-one should waste time reviewing the information.
"We don't think this information was leaked," he said. "We think it was organised to be released on a regular basis and they are pursuing political goals."

Well, couldn't expect much more from Mr. Ahmadinejad.
Quote:
The documents relating to Russia released on Monday by the WikiLeaks whistle blowing website do not merit comment, the Russian president's press secretary Natalia Timakova said on Monday.
"There is nothing interesting or worth commenting on in the publications released on the WikiLeaks website and in the papers," Timakova said.
