    Default MERGED: WikiLeaks Embassy Documents


    You do know what's Wikileaks right?

    Here's their biggest leak containing:

    15, 652 secret files
    101,748 confidential files
    133,887 unclassified files

    In all countries, including PH, but I haven't found those files yet, but according to their graph, there is a PH archive. The PH cable will be uploaded in the coming weeks or months, as what Wikileaks said that they will give us everything in parts. CURRETLY RELEASED 278/251,287 FILES


    Here are news articles dated 11/29/10:


    The leaked memos describe a Chinese government bid to hack into Google; plans to reunite the Korean peninsula after the North's eventual collapse; Saudi Arabia's king call to the US bomb Iran to halt its nuclear drive.

    The confidential cables, most of which date from 2007 to last February, also reveal how the State Department has ordered diplomats to spy on foreign officials and even to obtain their credit card and frequent flier numbers.

    Secret US Embassy Cables

    Wikileaks began on Sunday November 28th publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. The documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into US Government foreign activities.

    The cables, which date from 1966 up until the end of February this year, contain confidential communications between 274 embassies in countries throughout the world and the State Department in Washington DC. 15,652 of the cables are classified Secret.

    The embassy cables will be released in stages over the next few months. The subject matter of these cables is of such importance, and the geographical spread so broad, that to do otherwise would not do this material justice.

    The cables show the extent of US spying on its allies and the UN; turning a blind eye to corruption and human rights abuse in "client states"; backroom deals with supposedly neutral countries; lobbying for US corporations; and the measures US diplomats take to advance those who have access to them.

    This document release reveals the contradictions between the US’s public persona and what it says behind closed doors – and shows that if citizens in a democracy want their governments to reflect their wishes, they should ask to see what’s going on behind the scenes.

    Every American schoolchild is taught that George Washington – the country’s first President – could not tell a lie. If the administrations of his successors lived up to the same principle, today’s document flood would be a mere embarrassment. Instead, the US Government has been warning governments -- even the most corrupt -- around the world about the coming leaks and is bracing itself for the exposures.

    The full set consists of 251,287 documents, comprising 261,276,536 words (seven times the size of "The Iraq War Logs", the world's previously largest classified information release).

    The cables cover from 28th December 1966 to 28th February 2010 and originate from 274 embassies, consulates and diplomatic missions.
    The cables will be released in sections for the coming months, so I think it will still be soon to see cables from our country.

    Can't wait to see files on Ninoy Aquino Assassination and Martial Law.

    it would most probably endanger their diplomatic ties with other countries. That's why US has already sent briefing to their allies about these documents.

    But then again, for our country, these will give transparency to some govt officials, why? Because as stated, these file can also contain corruption allegation to govt officials in some countries.
