Super-Hero WikiLeaks: Diplomatic Cables From Your Favorite Comic Book Universes
If you've been paying attention to the news, late night talk show monologues or even the more well-read fortune cookies lately, you've probably gotten wind of the WikiLeaks scandal, in which over 250,000 confidential diplomatic documents were leaked to news sources via the WikiLeaks media organization, provoking embarrassment to the government and absolute shock to people who had no idea that governments could sometimes be mean to each other.

But there are several interesting exchanges buried in there somewhere, and as part of ComicsAlliance's ongoing quest to bring the truth to our readers, we've got a few that caught our eye today!
