The U.S. Air Force has backtracked on plans to regard as a spy any of its members who read leaked U.S. diplomatic documents on WikiLeaks.

The federal government has ordered thousands of employees not to read the documents, as they remain classified — even though they have been published by newspapers and websites around the world.
