I can provide one example from direct personal experience.
A citizen of a country with a repressive regime was revealed by release of the diplomatic cables to have provided information to the US State Department on the persecution of church members in their country. They have subsequently had to flee the country, being separated for years from their spouse and children who have remained trapped at home.

- alex_stoddard 13y agoObviously I am being deliberately minimal in my description - which I have to be given that I am indeed telling the truth. Do you really find it more credible that I am lying than that the massive release of diplomatic cables has had at least one severely negative and unintended consequence? To provide a bit more context - it is common for any Christian in some countries to be accused of being a US collaborator. Once your name appears in US diplomatic cable, regardless of the reason, it is very bad news.
