Some 2,50,000 classified US documents procured by WikiLeaks detail a wide variety of secret diplomatic episodes and incidences of backroom bargaining like a standoff with Pakistan over nuclear fuel and the hacking of Google systems by the Chinese government. The confidential cache of US cables released to the paper by the whistleblower website, were described by the New York Times as the one that unlocks the secrets of American diplomacy.The newspaper made public the details contained in the documents on Sunday, some time after WikiLeaks said its website was under a cyber attack.The NYT in its lead story said that a cache of a quarter-million confidential American diplomatic cables, most of them from the past three years, provides an unprecedented look at backroom bargaining by embassies around the world, brutally candid views of foreign leaders and frank assessments of nuclear and terrorist threats.These documents, according to NYT, reveal a dangerous Stand-off with Pakistan over nuclear fuel.Since 2007, the US has mounted a highly secret effort, so far unsuccessful, to remove from a Pakistani research reactor highly enriched uranium that American officials fearcould be diverted for use in an illicit nuclear device.Besides, they also provide an insight into a global computer hacking effort initiated by the Chinese government.Meanwhile, The White House has strongly condemned the release of secret US documents by WikiLeaks as a “reckless and dangerous” act which risks lives of thousands of diplomats and officials and endangers its relationship with friends and allies.White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement that these cables could compromise private discussions with foreign governments and opposition leaders, and when the substance of private conversations is printed on the front pages of newspapers across the world, and it can deeply impact not only US foreign policy interests, but those of our allies and friends around the world.
