Wikileaks WASHINGTON: The United States cracked down Monday on the handling of classified information in response to the release of hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables by the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.The Office of Management and Budget ordered a sweeping review of information security across federal agencies, saying the inflammatory and sometimes embarrassing revelations in the leaked documents had damaged national security.
"The recent irresponsible disclosure by WikiLeaks has resulted in significant damage to our national security," Director Jacob Lew said. "Any failure by agencies to safeguard classified information... is unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
