Leaked Cables Include Extensive Infrastructure List
---------------------------------------------------



The latest cables include a document providing a list of installations
described as vital to U.S. interests and national security worldwide.
The list is expansive, including everything from power plants supplying
U.S. grids to a cobalt mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The
U.S. State Department has criticized the list’s publication as
"irresponsible," while the British government called it "damaging to
national security." In response, Wiki Leaks said the list has been
available to over 2.5 million people including military officials and
private contractors, and that it does not include specific locations and
vulnerabilities.
