Wikileaks

The best comment I've read about the Wikileaks is:

This is like going to a party, getting smashed off your face and spilling your guts about everyone in the room, feeling really great and cathartic about it. Then waking up the next morning and realising that you've made yourself look a right wanker and there's nothing you can do about it.


Quite interesting material to be found. For ex//

General Petraeus responded that it was not the U.S. desire to see outside force used against Iran. Nonetheless, he observed, there was a phenomenon in the Gulf states where leaders were worried someone would strike Iran's nuclear
weapons program, while also worrying that someone would not. Iran, he continued, had become CENTCOM's best recruiting tool, and the number of partnerships and U.S. military assistance agreements with Arab partners in the Gulf had increased significantly.
