Top secret. And from what I understand, there may be top secret documents yet to be released by WikiLeaks. Bradley Manning, the army intelligence analyst who downloaded the cables, did so from both the SPIRNet system (garden variety secrets) and from JWICS, the system used to transmit top secret documents.
In any event, I think going, within 2 years, from 20 people to 3 million people authorized to classify documents as top secret means many more things have been classified as top secret than can possibly be kept under wraps.
Meanwhile, the focus seems to be on Assange, with a subsidiary focus on the leaky state of U.S. intelligence - but where's the focus on the content of the leaks? All this blaming the messenger and the source security stuff is weaksauce, imo.
It seems to be deflection, deflection and working. I'd have to agree that the previous leaks about Iraq and Afghanistan didn't cause this much of a stir because the military didn't have nearly as much ability to scream bloody murder.
