The US has taken these temporary precautions on the cables that are from the military database. The reason for this radical decision is to stop the leaks of confidential material. It was reported that a UK Foreign official said he had deep concern over the safety issues surrounding Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. This took place back in September 2009. Another cable seven months prior Anne Patterson, an ambassador to Islamabad, made it clear and told Washington: their main concern was someone working in the government in Pakistan smuggling enough materials out to make a nuclear weapon.
Not only that, but back in 2008 a cable from an intelligence briefing told of Pakistan producing nuclear weapons more rapidly than any country in the world.
More leaks and hopefully they won’t compromise global stability. More can be found at this link this is also my news source for this paraphrased article
