Awesome!

There are several initial reports on these cables on various news web sites. Here's one of the better ones I've found so far: WikiLeaks reveals U.S. diplomatic secrets (Politico).

Excerpt:

Summary: Post has attempted to clarify some of the
legal and constitutional issues surrounding the June 28
forced removal of President Manuel "Mel" Zelaya. The
Embassy perspective is that there is no doubt that the
military, Supreme Court and National Congress conspired
on June 28 in what constituted an illegal and
unconstitutional coup against the Executive Branch, while
accepting that there may be a prima facie case that Zelaya
may
have committed illegalities and may have even violated the
constitution. There is equally no doubt from our perspective
that Roberto Micheletti's assumption of power was
illegitimate.

I am unable to make sense of your query? Perhaps you could rephrase?

It was a response to this post:

I hope they dont only focus on corruption in America, but throughout the world...

Fly and I have argued before over the legitimacy or lack thereof of the coup in Honduras, so I'm asking whether he thinks this counts.

Ah - ok. "fly" was not a verb; it was short for tsetsefly. Thanks for explaining.

Whole thing reminds of the patriot act arguments - "hey if you aren't doing anything wrong then you have nothing to fear about your activities being observed by others"

I believe it is time for a voice of clear reason, from the past, So clear and crisp and so absolutely pertinent. A message from the Last President of The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Who, now, may have blood on their hands, who, now, agrees it is necessary, in a free and open society.
For goodness sake...... Listen .... ingest..... and turn your World around, accept your errors, lest you do not survive.

Good reference. I have never heard this speech and it is chilling hearing what Pres. Kennedy is suggesting.

To be fair I now offer you the full text. See what I mean. Full and frank disclosure. Test everything lest you be fooled by vision or tape.

Excellent. I would love to read "leaked" documents from this period of history from within the US. I bet they would explain many so called "mysteries".

As a side note, Last Saturday, Chalmers Johnson died.

That is about as perfect an example of the importance of 'context' that anyone could construct. Thank you for that, thunderdownunder. Here's the speech in audio:

The whole WikiLeaks release of documents stinks of BS. The US spends more than all the other's world major super powers combined on defense, national security, and covert security (not to mention what is kept off the books). If they wanted WikiLeaks down and its owner gone, it would have been done already. The damn owner is out giving televised news interviews. How can news crews find him, but black ops can't?

I believe it’s a psyche-ops. Maybe it’s partly a honey-pot to snarl people who to try to release the real juicy stuff to the public? Maybe it’s a designed release to obfuscate the news of other more damaging news or whistleblowers. Who knows, but to believe that this release of “secret” documents could not be stopped, is a joke.


Who gains? What would be the potential motivation?
