Too early to be definitive about this but initial thoughts are NOT positive at all. It seems ALL the papers and Wikileaks are only going to release their own edited sub-sets of whatever it is they have got to leak. Duh.
Initial take on the Guardian intro:
Lots of interesting comment surfacing about how these Wikileaks set pieces never damage Israel - in fact arguably serve the Zionist agenda of weakening the US administration and undermining the Moslem world in general to a tee - now there's a thought.
If the Guardian so far is any guide, that is EXACTLY the playbook to date. Assuming there is any, they are doing an admirable job of obfuscating anything we don't already know and/or damaging to Israel - and leading ernest pompous discussions about the ethics of the leaks.
Where's the stuff about Lockerbie? Where's the stuff about the Mumbai attacks? where's the stuff about Pakistan? Where's the stuff about Russia?
To adapt TS Elliot: we're being distracted from distraction by distraction.
IOW We've been hyped right up to the heavens and are about to fall back to earth with a thud. We are being had - my judgement FWIW
Initial take on the Guardian intro:
- Merkel avoids risk and is rarely creative
- US spies on UN leadership
- Sarkozey is "The Emperor with no clothes"
- Berlusconi throws wild parties and is too friendly with Russia
- Hamid Karzai is paranoid
- Kim Jon Il suffers from epilepsy
- Saudi urged USA to attack Iran
- Arab States "Scorn Evil Iran"
- Iran lied to UN Inspectors about Qom nuclear site
- Secret EU plot to boycott Ahmadinijad inauguration
- Iranian spies use Red Crescent to enter war zones
- Story of elderly US couple's escape from Iran
