This came from NPR..... Transcript is of a portion of Talk of the Nation.
"It is one of the largest government leaks in history. More than 250,000 secret diplomatic documents were obtained by WikiLeaks, which released some of them Sunday in agreement with media outlets in the United States and Europe.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called it an attack on U.S. foreign policy interests and the international community. Attorney General Eric Holder announced an ongoing criminal investigation into the leak and those responsible.
The public's response has been mixed, quite honestly. On NPR's news blog The Two-Way, more than half of those who responded to a very unscientific survey, 55 percent, agreed that the public has a right to know, versus 45 percent who said the release is wrong because it puts lives at risk."
