Another leak by the whistleblower website Wikileaks has revealed, the U.S. State Department distastefully gossiped about all the trouble nude model, Anna Nichole Smith, was causing in the Bahamas. Smith later died of a drug overdose. The State Department cable equated her to a "hurricane" and reveled in the possibility her conduct would bring down the local reigning government. 

It lends the appearance the State Department revels in the fall of foreign governments, democratic or otherwise, welcoming it with glee. The cable was also disgraceful, as it invoked the name of her son, Daniel, who died of a drug overdose, in an incident that was very tragic and preventable. Even with the solemnity of such an event, the State Department cable comes off as a sadistic venture into tabloid journalism.
