WikiLeaks Releases List of Global Sites 'Vital' to US Security

In other words a terrorists shopping list. I wouldn't want to be working at any of these factories with a big fat target on them on the internet.


(Dec. 6) -- WikiLeaks has released a list of "critical" industries and assets around the world, from vaccine factories in Belgium to oil pipelines in Georgia, that the U.S. considers vital to its national security.

In a February 2009 cable, the State Department asked all American embassies to list infrastructure and resources "within their host countries that, if destroyed, would likely have an immediate and deleterious effect on the United States." It added that diplomats were "not being asked to consult with host governments with respect to this request."
