Wikileaks has continued posting US diplomatic cables.
The stories read like Extra but with less attractive people.
According to Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, one counterpart said of the Wikileaks’ posting of US diplomatic cables:
Well, don’t worry about it, you should see what we say about you
It’s not clear if they meant Hillary or the United States. 😉
But I’m curious either way. Let’s see diplomatic cables from other countries.
Imagine the Guardian map with cables from multiple countries?
Or mapping relationships between the various people and current government figures?
Or mapping those relationships over careers of toleration or even encouragement of repressive or brutal regimes?
Disclosure of diplomatic cables should be encouraged.
For the same reason disclosure is feared. Accountability.
Such as judging why the United States and other countries have tolerated post WWII episodes of ethnic cleansing.
