Wikileaks is releasing to the public a quarter of a million classified documents. This latest batch isn’t so much about atrocities in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. It mainly consists of confidential reports by diplomats that contain unflattering and sometimes snarky comments about world leaders, including important allies. The reports lack “diplomacy.” As a result, we have a diplomatic catastrophe on our hands.
For a sampling of what they contain, here is a list of breathless headlines from the Drudge Report. Go there for links to the articles:
