State Dept. Bars Staffers from WikiLeaks, Warns Students

The U.S. State Department has imposed an order barring employees from  
reading the leaked WikiLeaks cables. State Department staffers have  
been told not to read cables because they were classified and subject  
to security clearances. The State Department’s WikiLeaks censorship  
has even been extended to university students. An email to students at  
Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs says:  
"The documents released during the past few months through Wikileaks  
are still considered classified documents. [The State Department]  
recommends that you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make  
comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter.  
Engaging in these activities would call into question your ability to  
deal with confidential information, which is part of most positions  
with the federal government."
