FED:Gillard fails to name law broken by Wiki=2

But the "foundation stone" was the leaking of the documents to the website, not the
publishing of the cables.

"It would not happen, information would not be on WikiLeaks, if there had not been
an illegal act undertaken," Ms Gillard said.

It is widely assumed the man responsible for the leaks is a US soldier who is already
imprisoned for previous leaks.

"It's grossly irresponsible and anybody who looks at the pages of today's newspaper
and sees that things like critical infrastructure lists are being put on WikiLeaks ...

would understand how grossly irresponsible this is," Ms Gillard said.

A classified cable listing infrastructure critical to the US was published by the site on Monday.

The list included some Australian-based infrastructure including the already widely
known undersea telecommunications cable - the Southern Cross Cable.
