Wiki's raw files leaked on web

[Glass]

THE entire unedited collection of diplomatic cables held by WikiLeaks has been leaked on the internet, in what is a disaster for the United States and a damaging blow to the whistleblowing website.

The release could put at risk hundreds of people who have co-operated with the US in dangerous parts of the world, particularly the Middle East.

It will also cause headaches for intelligence agencies worldwide.

Rumours had been circulating on the internet for the past few days that the password to an encrypted file holding WikiLeaks' entire trove - 251,287 US State Department cables - had been discovered.

Yesterday, the file and the password became known on the internet and in an online frenzy the entire cable database was made public.

This is a disaster for the US because the cables are, unlike those published by WikiLeaks and its media partners, unedited and contain the names of diplomatic sources, sensitive information and even identifies intelligence officers.

They have built Wikileaks up as being the premiere whistleblower of whistleblowers in the minds of even the most casual observer.

Now, it's danger, danger, danger!!!

Also, Isnt Obummer currently supposed to have a hostile view of whistleblowers or something?

Its interesting that 1 week ago the former "partner" of assange declared that he had single handedly saved the world and all those innocent genocidal maniacs running and working the military by destroying all of the documents, permanently and irretrievably.

Then there is this. Are they different things we are seeing here?

So no one has seen this file yet?

Ok so zerohedge has got the goods. How to get the files and what to do with them. PLUS if you are quick and can dig up the BoA dirt from this archive you could win a zerohedge thong or some such.
