Title: D'oh! State Dept. republishes WikiLeaks doc on .gov site

Is viewing and republishing documents from WikiLeaks illegal, or isn't it? Apparently not even the US State Department knows.

America's top diplomatic agency republished a document leaked by the secrets outlet, which the site revealed today via Twitter.

"State department republishes Wikileaks' doc," they wrote on their Twitter page. "Will they now try to sue themselves?"

The document (.pdf) is a congressional report on US trade policy in the Caribbean. The report was published in January 2009 and was released by WikiLeaks on February 2, 2009, along with 6,780 other congressional reports.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
