WASHINGTON (AP) — The accelerated online disclosure of tens of
thousands of previously unreleased State Department cables by the
WikiLeaks organization is raising new concerns about the exposure
of confidential U.S. embassy sources.

It’s also proving a source of fresh diplomatic setbacks and
embarrassment for the Obama administration.

Current and former American officials said Tuesday that the
disclosure in the past week of more than 125,000 sensitive
documents by WikiLeaks, far more than it had earlier published,
further endangered informants and jeopardized U.S. foreign policy
goals.

The officials would not comment on specific information contained
in the leaked documents but said the rate of the new releases,
including about 50,000 in one day alone, had sparked fears that the
cables may not be scrubbed to protect the identities of individuals
named in them.
