Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today that President Obama was first made aware of the size and scope of the documents WikiLeaks had last week during an intelligence briefing.

Gibbs also said it is "an understatement" that the President is not pleased with the leaks. He called the leakers "criminals" and said the White House is not ruling anything out as far as dealing with it goes.

Sarah Palin has a little something to say about the WikiLeaks fiasco, too. On her Facebook page, Palin wrote, "We are at war. American soldiers are in Afghanistan fighting to protect our freedoms. They are serious about keeping America safe. It would be great if they could count on their government being equally serious about that vital task."

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is leading up the damage control. She's been working with her counterparts across the world about the leaked State Department cables. Clinton said the leaks are an attack on the international community.
