On the visit to Kazakhstan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke about the virtues of an open society. This was her first overseas trip since the release of thousands of confidential diplomatic cables containing blunt appraisals of foreign countries and leaders.1 Meanwhile, reports noted that secret US diplomatic cables published by the WikiLeaks website reveal that most of the 200 US tactical nuclear weapons based in Europe are located in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Turkey.2 The United States has condemned the WikiLeaks which released more than a quarter-million sensitive US diplomatic cables.
