The U.S. State Department warned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange that the planned release of government documents will endanger the lives of “countless individuals” and threaten cooperation with allied countries.

WikiLeaks has provided The New York Times, The Guardian and Der Spiegel newspapers with about 250,000 documents for publication, State Department Legal Adviser Harold Koh wrote in an e-mail yesterday to Assange’s attorney Jennifer Robinson.
