Filtration of diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks has damaged U.S. foreign relations, changing the modus operandi of individuals and governments and provide information to their enemies, today recognized the Pentagon and the State Department.

“For some time, diplomatic relations will be more complicated,” said State Department spokesman, PJ Crowley, in a meeting with foreign press.

“We understand that these revelations have opened a breach in the trust, which we deplore,” said Crowley.

For its part, the Pentagon spokesman, Col. Dave Lapan, said “we feel that things have been reversed due to this information,” in a question with some media.

The Pentagon has received “indications” that there is “at least some change in the way that individuals and governments cooperate and share information” with her, said Lapan.

This change has been realized, for example, in the presence of “less diplomatic meetings that used to hold many more,” he explained in his daily press conference the State Department spokesman.

“We are aware of at least one meeting in which they demanded that all notebooks remain outside the room” Crowley said.

For its part, Lapan considered that more than 250,000 WikiLeaks diplomatic cables began to publish the November 28 also represent a goldmine for those who seek to harm America.

“We know through various sources, that our adversaries are delving into this (leaks) to get information,” said Lapan, for which however is “difficult to quantify exactly how” in which these enemies “are changing their tactics “.

This difficulty of quantifying the damage that leaks will have on the mechanisms of U.S. foreign relations entails, for Lapan, a risk rather than the “modest” danger predicted last week Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

“How can we quantify the information we have obtained our enemies and he has taught them things about how we work (…), which has made them alter their behavior because of what they have learned?” Asked the colonel.

“All these are real dangers that we believe has happened,” he said.

Lapan and Crowley both declined to comment on the arrest in London of the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, and the possibility of being extradited to Sweden or, in case charges are filed, tried in the U.S..

“The United States is not involved in this issue,” Crowley said, adding that the only people involved are “the United Kingdom and Sweden, a country whose prosecutors issued the arrest warrant to Assange in relation to their alleged crimes of sexual assault.
