WASHINGTON - Saudi King Abdullah has repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran's nuclear program and China directed cyberattacks on the United States, according to a vast cache of U.S. diplomatic cables released Sunday in an embarrassing leak that undermines U.S. diplomacy.

The more than 250,000 documents, given to five media groups by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks, provide candid and at times critical views of foreign leaders as well as sensitive information on terrorism and nuclear proliferation filed by U.S. diplomats, according to The New York Times.

The White House condemned the release by WikiLeaks and said the disclosures may endanger U.S. informants abroad. WikiLeaks said its website was under attack and none of the underlying cables was visible there Sunday night, though some were posted by news organizations.

Among the revelations in Britain's Guardian newspaper, which also received an advance look at the documents along with France's Le Monde, Germany's Der Spiegel and Spain's El Pais, King Abdullah is reported to have "frequently exhorted the U.S. to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons program."

"Cut off the head of the snake," the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Adel al-Jubeir, quotes the king as saying during a meeting with U.S. General David Petraeus in April 2008.

The leaked documents, the majority of which are from 2007 or later, also disclose U.S. allegations that China's Politburo directed an intrusion into Google's computer systems, part of a broader coordinated campaign of computer sabotage carried out by Chinese government operatives, private security experts and Internet outlaws, the Times reported.

  • if they really wanted to implement a democracy how about they set up a vote asking iranians if they want NATO to intervene in their nation. I'm 100% positive everyone will say "no get the hell away".

    The whole reason why there's a dictatorship (is it even that?) in Iran is because the only way Iran could overthrow the CIA IMPLEMENTED dictatorship from 1953-1979 was to support a very right wing Islamic revolution. Those people will solve their own internal problems with time, no war needed.

  • well. we need to stop being the policeman of the world. the us had thier civil wars we had our depressions. we need to stop trying to intervene. its none of our business. um...why are we the tip of the spear when it comes to inflicting these wars? becuase were stupid ass holes fed to be
