Wikileaks: US embassy cables leak sparks global diplomacy crisis - Polidicks

[url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/american-escape-iran-horse-turkey[/url] Best leak so far, 75 year old man escapes Iran by going over a freezing cold mountain on a horse.

Embassies used for spying? Oh what a global revelation. You know what? Don't tell anyone! Prime minister Putin used to do the same in soviet embassy in West Berlin! Now I'm just like WikiLeaks.

[QUOTE=kaven;26364032]So telling your coworkers what you think of certain leaders is wrong? (I do know that the leak contained other information but I'm using this as an example)[/QUOTE] I agree with you, no one can be blamed for what is said in these cables. If someone sends a private email or makes a private phone call (which is basically what a cable is to the best of my knowledge) which they believe will remain private and expresses their feelings they should not be blamed if it becomes public knowledge.

Nothing of surprise. What a waste.

[QUOTE=Midas22;26364011]"US embassy cables leak sparks..." Get new ones then.[/QUOTE] I laughed hard.

[QUOTE=Miskav;26362989]The US damaged itself internationally and covered it up.[/QUOTE] Actually, most of what I've read is damaging to other nations. The US is pretty good at telling people where they stand on issues. The part about these leaks that will hurt the US is that no one will know whether or not they can trust what they tell US diplomats will stay confidential. If these types of leaks become common, the US will have a hard time getting anything done diplomatically.

some men aren't motivated by power and profit some men just want to watch the world burn

[QUOTE=Miktor.;26362686]Guys, guys, you only have a little bit of the information, there's like thousands of new things to come.

[QUOTE=Orkel;26366690]Humanity itself is proof that other intelligent life is out there somewhere. If it started here, then it's going to start somewhere else.[/QUOTE] Just a question, are you able to change thread titles? If you are, change you change the title to "Wikileaks: US embassy cables..."? Should clear up some things.

[QUOTE=Turnips5;26366775]• There's [B]a plan for unifying Korea[/B] after the North collapses, and China's in on it. Huh.[/QUOTE] Hope the North koreans don't find out about that, they are calling him a flabby man as well.

So far, I don't see anything too important... It's all shit that is public as it is... Concerns about this, Gossip about that Nothing new
