Who cares if a member of the royals engaged in "inappropriate behaviour"? There are lots of prior examples of that anyway. Ditto embarrassments to current and former Crime Ministers. Who cares.
Others have noted the absence of anything Israeli in flavour. Yet anyway. How curious.
And yes, it's still too early to say for sure, but there's no more meat in it than you'd find in a bowl of veggie soup.
Others have asked and I also want to know --- are we all being played?
While I don't have a MAJOR problem with your analysis or other above who same something similar [and Yes, someone or someones are playing us....one way or another...and perhaps more than one way....]; I think while most of US HERE are aware of these sorts of things, this WILL come as a shock to the intelligent but naive non-Deep Politcally aware - and that may have value. Stay tuned. I sense the USG's worry is real...and that alone is worth the price of admission.
By far the best analysis and discussion of this so far is today's http://www.democracynow.org I'll put up the transcript when it is ready [few hours] but you can hear or view it now.
I'm with you, David. Like the E. Howard Hunt "confession," there is NOTHING -- so far, and to the degree that I've been able to review what by all reasonable accounts is a tiny percentage of the newly available material -- that shocks the cognoscenti or brings us closer to truth and justice.
Peter, I'm sad to admit that I cannot share your assessment that the Great Unaware very well may be enlightened, enlivened, and even enraged by what I'm seeing as a "venting" operation.
More likely than not, false flag attacks directly linked to one or more leaked documents will be mounted. At which point the Great Unaware will rise up to support official clamp-downs on Internet content and use.
My Hunt analogy holds: These systemic "confessions" to date have benefited no one except those who stand to benefit from the imposition of restrictions on information flow.
