Terrorists aren't after attacking any targets of real strategic or tactical importance, because if they did they wouldn't be facking terrorists would they?!

Any important target like that will be guarded*, and anyone serious about attacking one would be able to find out anything they needed to know anyway.

"Risking the lives of troops". Tactical movements which change on a minute to minute basis in diplomatic memos between ambassadors? I doubt it's a common thing on the Washington cocktail party circuit "Oh yes there's a hole in the wall just right for a suicide vest and a couple of RPG rounds between the mosque and the camel repair center at the 3rd watch tower just outside BASRA".

A complete load of BS with regards the risks anyway.

As for Iran "Excuse me ayatollah, it seems that Jordan doesn't like us very much" "OMG!!!11!!!"
Is anybody really that surprised?

The only people bothered are the Americans, and just embarrassed rather than worried. If they were WORRIED about the so called threat which had just appeared then they would be more interested in mending fences elsewhere than in petty vendettas against the person they see as responsible. Which IMO means they're likely to do something really stupid.

As far as I know wikileaks has been selective about what info it releases. If all this silliness with DOS attacks and as far as I can see trumped up charges** carries on then they're still holding the big hammer of releasing all the info. Only takes one guy with a DVDR and an account on any random torrent website and a few newsgroups.

Personally, the truth will out. I am all for the free flow of information especially about governments which so readily pry into our lives and lawful business.
