Exposure of the underhanded means that the US uses to gather intelligence, for one. Attempting to steal the credit card numbers and biometrics of UN officials violates two UN conventions (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cables-spying-un http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cable...).
