WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Friday condemned as "irresponsible" the expected release of classified diplomatic cables by the Wikileaks website and warned it will endanger "lives and interests."State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said US diplomats were continuing the process of warning governments around the world about what might be in the documents. Many fear the cables will embarrass the United States and its allies and reveal sensitive details of how the US conducts relations with other countries.RELATED:US warns Israel about WikiLeaks documents'WikiLeaks documents show Turkey helped al-Qaida'"We are all bracing for what may be coming and condemn WikiLeaks for the release of classified material," he said.
