WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Wednesday it has warned Congress that the WikiLeaks website is preparing to release sensitive U.S. diplomatic records that could damage U.S. relations across the globe.

"These revelations are harmful to the United States and our interests," department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. "They are going to create tension in relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world."

In anticipation of the posting of the leaked documents by the self-styled whistle-blower website, U.S. diplomatic outposts around the world have begun notifying other governments that it may happen within days, Crowley told reporters.

"We wish this would not happen, but we are obviously prepared for the possibility that it will," he added.

3. Dear Christian President: you shall know the truth, and the truth

will set you free. That is your alleged faith that teaches that. Got a problem with the truth? Apparently so.

5. Isn't it the acts themselves that will damage foreign relations?

I suppose the administration is more concerned with people knowing the truth than any atrocities committed.
This sounds like the fear of a criminal when hidden evidence is close to being found. Perhaps some of what is to be released reflects on acts of the current rather than the past administration.

They are beginning to act the way scared criminals act, not a good sign and certainly not the type of leadership I would be willing to follow.
