Steer Clear of WikiLeaks If You Want a Job at State

I thought this was an interesting tidbit from The Arabist. Despite this last major WikiLeaks disclosure of a quarter-million documents, the State Department still considers them classified documents. And so the students at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs are being encouraged by an alum who currently works at the State Department to not post anything (or comment) on Facebook, Twitter or blogs from the WikiLeaks dump.

Why? The State Department may well call into question one's ability to handle confidential documents.

As if there weren't enough hoops to jump through to get a job at State.
