Wikileaks: Foreign Governments Warned Not to Retaliate Against Human Rights Activists

[Still a Democrat]

The U.S. State Department has warned foreign governments not to retaliate against human rights activists, journalists or others whose dealings with American officials have been revealed in secret diplomatic cables published by WikiLeaks.


State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said certain governments have been told that if they take "adverse actions" against sources cited in the cables, it could harm their relations with the United States. He did not name any governments.


Crowley said that in a few cases, the U.S. has assisted in moving individuals to safer locations since WikiLeaks began releasing sensitive State Department cables in November.

1. Yep, retaliating against human rights activists and journalists is *our* job..

Keep in mind that the land of the free has the highest incarceration rate on the planet, bar none.

Who else would know better how to violate human rights than the biggest incarcerator of humans?
