From unflattering, flippant remarks about foreign leaders to deadly serious security concerns, the massive publication of U.S. diplomatic correspondence by Wikileaks could have one collective and potentially disastrous effect, according to policy officials: the loss of trust in the U.S. government. “I think the greatest harm … is the loss of trust that other governments will have in dealing with the United States of America,” Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, told “Good Morning America” today. Wikileaks founder Julian Assange “is putting into danger our foreign policy and perhaps the lives of certain Americans around the world.” Officials in the Obama administration echoed Hoekstra's worries, citing one correspondence in particular that revealed what appeared to be an attempt by Yemeni leaders to mislead their own people — potentially damaging U.S. relations with a country that has proved a dangerous front in the war on terror. http://abcnews.go.com/US/official-wikileaks-greatest-danger-loss-trust/story?id=… added by: congoboy
