Pentagon investigators are trying to determine the whereabouts of Julian Assange, the Australian-born founder of the secretive website WikiLeaks, for fear that he may be about to publish a huge cache of classified State Department cables that, if made public, could do serious damage to national security, government officials said. The officials acknowledge that even if they found Assange, they may not be able to block publication of the cables on WikiLeaks, which is based in Sweden. Pentagon is convinced that Assange has classified State Department cables leaked by Army intelligence specialist Bradley Manning, who is now in custody in Kuwait. Given the contents of the cables, the Feds have good reason to be concerned. Manning, while posted in Iraq, apparently had special access to cables prepared by diplomats and State Department officials throughout the Middle East, regarding the workings of Arab governments and their leaders, according to an American diplomat.
