The prosecution admitted as much at her trial. Read up on United States vs Manning for more details.

I agree. It will make it seriously difficult for anyone to discuss with a US diplomat in confidence given that the guy will log it in his little secure system and that the transcript will be on the web within 5 years. Not really worth risking your life.

I think it is safe to assume this leak will have seriously affected the US diplomacy.

I believe that we would definitely have been told if there was.
