[WikiLeaks] Government Workers Ordered Not to Read Cables

What a retarded thing, so the whole world can now read the cables and government employees are told not to ? Why ? What could there be that the government would want to hide from its own employees ? After all, if the Chinese can read them there does not seem to be much point in stopping your own governments employees from reading them.

"Classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority,"

You've got to be kidding. Talk about being in denial.

This must be awkward for government workers who have already read the cables.
