I don’t know what to think about this massive release of secret and embarrassing State Department cables leaked by Wikileaks. I feel that this is going to jeopardize many people and puts the US in a bad, bad light. Not so much for the stuff that is said in the memos and cables, cause even though it is not too polite and is gossipy, the opinions of these foreign players really is not the issue. I bet the stuff said about these people is common knowledge among the foreign political community. I think that main focus and real problem with the leaks, is that the US security let the documents be hacked into and this is what’s going to hurt us the most. Who the hell is going to trust us now? All these leaks are proof that security of State Secrets is laughable. That someone was able to release this stuff, boggles my mind. How on earth did these get leaked…I do not think it was this Manning dude all alone. My concern is with the real meat of these cables…that stuff about secret deals and corruption. Corruption that seems to be widely know, but ignored. Anyway, all of this makes me think of that Seinfeld episode, The Doodle:
Kramer: Well it’s a story about love, deception, greed, lust and…unbridled enthusiasm.
Elaine: unbridled enthusiasm…?
Kramer: Well , that’s what led to Billy Mumphrey’s downfall.
Elaine: Oh! boy.
Kramer: You see Elaine, Billy was a simple country boy. You might say a cockeyed optimist,
who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of world diplomacy and international intrigue.
Yes…Wikileaks, what led to the United States Foreign Policy downfall…for what it is worth, here is a bunch of links about the leak. I want to keep this handy for future reference. One thing is for certain, all these docs and memos and cables are a wealth of inspiration for my Crocodile Deliverance story….
