FILE - In this Nov. 29, 2010 file photo, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton makes a statement on the Wikileaks document release at the State Department in Washington.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Wednesday Dec. 1, 2010 that Assange's statements "are both ridiculous and absurd."

State Department officials said Tuesday that secret instructions to American diplomats to gather sensitive personal information about foreign leaders originated from the U.S. intelligence community but did not require diplomats to spy. Requests for DNA and biometric data on foreign officials were contained in leaked classified cables published by WikiLeaks.
"Secretary Clinton is doing a great job," Gibbs said. "The president has great confidence in and admires the work that Secretary Clinton has done."
