Good for wikileaks.
I have yet to hear a compelling case justifying our Government hiding things from the its citizens. "Its embarrassing" is not a valid reason. If its absolutely key to national security...then they shouldn't have been using normal communication channels.

Biometric info on North Korean diplomats. Why do you have a problem with it? We are technically still in war mode with those nutbags so why not have our war face on?

Based on the info released, I had already assumed the practices mentioned were common place in the diplomatic community.

I dont see any value in releasing this information. Its like making someones personal text messages public. The war documents released before had useful information that gave insights into Iraq and Afghanistan. I havent seen any revelations in what was released this week, most of the opinions are probably common sentiments around Washington that arent shared publicly, its just embarrassing to see this leak out.
Washington doesnt have a high opinion of the UK government: Im not surprised, Cameron ran on a platform of no longer bending to the USs will like Tony Blair. The king of Saudi Arabia wants the US to attack Iran: Anybody who knows about the Middle East will know that Saudi Arabia are basically enemies. Iran is Shiite and Saudi Arabia is Sunni. Iran blames the West for the condition of the Middle East, Saudi Arabia relize on the West almost completely for its economy. Iran wants to to be the big dog in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is the big dog because of its financial influence.
