The U.S. Department of State has been working overtime to warn its allies that Wikileaks could be releasing this weekend highly sensitive details about the inner workings of government and diplomatic relations.

U.S. Embassy officials in Canada, Australia, Britain, Turkey and Israel, among others, have all warned their counterparts about the impending release.
Previously, Wikileaks said the release would be “seven times” as large as the Iraq and Afghanistan war documents released in October.
State Department Spokesman P.J. Crowley said Wednesday that Wikileaks is in possession of “classified cables,” although he did not elaborate on their content.
“These revelations… are going to create tensions on our relationships between our diplomats and our friends around the world,” Crowley told Agence France Presse.
Several news reports cite The British daily Al-Hayat as saying that the release will reveal U.S. support for the PKK, a Turkish separatist rebel group officially listed by the State Department as a terrorist organization. Additionally, the release may show that Turkey has given support to al Qaeda in Iraq.
