WikiLeaks releases list of global sites 'vital' to US - Yahoo! News: "WASHINGTON (AFP) – WikiLeaks has divulged a secret list compiled by Washington of key infrastructure sites around the world that could pose a critical danger to US security if they come under terrorist attack.
The newly released diplomatic cable is one of the most explosive yet out of many leaked by the whistle-blowing website that have heaped embarrassment on Washington and caused anger around the world.
Among other revelations, the latest WikiLeaks document dump showed Australia's then leader Kevin Rudd warning US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that force might be needed against China 'if everything goes wrong'.
A State Department cable from February 2009 asked US missions to update a list of infrastructure and key resources worldwide whose loss 'could critically impact' the country's public health, economic life and national security."
