Media organizations condemn WikiLeaks' disclosure

LONDON - Four of the high-profile media organizations that have collaborated with WikiLeaks on its release of secret documents have condemned the group's disclosure of its entire archive of unredacted U.S. State Department cables. <br /> <br /> A joint statement published on the Guardian's website Friday said that it, along with The New York Times, Spanish daily El Pais and German newspaper Der Spiegel ``deplore the decision of WikiLeaks to publish the unredacted State Department cables, which may put sources at risk.'' <br /> <br /> WikiLeaks has recently published its entire 251,287-document collection of U.S. Embassy cables, suggesting that its hand was forced because the files had already leaked to the Internet in any case. <br /> <br /> The circumstances of that leak remain disputed. <br />
