Europe Wary of U.S. Bank Monitors

When the European Parliament ordered a halt in February to an American government program to monitor international banking transactions for terrorist activity, the Obama administration was blindsided by the rebuke.

Meddling Neighbors Torment Iraq

Saddam Hussein s Iraq was a regional menace that sent shudders through its neighbors. Today s Iraqi leaders are struggling to restrain the ambitions of the countries that share Iraq s porous borders, eye the country s rich resources and vie for influence.

Cables Depict Range of Obama Diplomacy

Now we know, from the granular picture of engagement-in-action that emerges from that trove of 250,000 WikiLeaks cables, many from the first 13 months of the Obama presidency. Mr. Obama s style seems to be: Engage, yes, but wield a club as well and try to counter the global doubts that he is willing to use it.

China’s Battle With Google

As China ratcheted up the pressure on Google to censor its Internet searches last year, the American Embassy sent a secret cable to Washington detailing why top Chinese leaders had become so obsessed with the Internet search company: they were Googling themselves.

Clinton Praises Diplomats’ Work

It is in the government s interest, of course, to put a shine on what is clearly a bad situation, one that is likely to make diplomats work harder if anxious sources stop sharing information. And in some cases, the exposure showed diplomatic judgment to be seriously flawed: memos from the United States Embassy in Georgia, for instance, showed that diplomats relied so heavily on the Georgian government for information that they misjudged the country s actions in its war with Russia in 2008.

PayPal Suspends WikiLeaks Account

As the release of hundreds of thousands of United States diplomatic cables brings more attention to WikiLeaks, commercial entities on the Internet have come under increased scrutiny for their business relationships with the organization. The e-commerce Web site Amazon and the domain name company EasyDNS.Net both severed their ties to WikiLeaks during the course of this week. And now they are being joined by PayPal, the online payment service.

Holy WikiLeaks, Batman! –

What we learned, besides a few new shades and details, is that American diplomats in Moscow rely on a lot of the same sources Western journalists do in trying to decipher the Kremlin -- sources like the Russian press, which is a lot more intrepid than the West gives it credit for. They also don't seem to spend much time actually deciphering the Kremlin; mostly the cablers were preoccupied with the gossip coming from the bulldogs under the rug or the spiders in a jar or the "heads in a soup" or whatever metaphors such circles use.

Leaked Cables Stir Resentment and Shrugs

In the world of diplomacy, best known for ambiguity and opacity, the WikiLeaks organization says its function is to 'keep government open.' But, with the latest release of some 250,000 State Department cables, the outcome of WikiLeaks s actions could be far more ambiguous, closing doors to United States diplomats, turning candor to reticence and leaving many people leery of baring their souls and secrets to American officials.

Libya Delayed Nuclear Disposal

In the early morning of Nov. 25, 2009, a large Russian cargo plane left the Libyan capital, Tripoli, on a secret mission without its intended cargo. A small stockpile of spent nuclear fuel destined for disposal in Russia remained behind in a lightly guarded research center, apparently because of a fit of pique by Libya s mercurial leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. In a frantic cable back to Washington, American officials in Tripoli warned of dire consequences unless the carefully brokered deal to remove the 5.2 kilograms (11.4 pounds) of highly enriched uranium stored in seven five-ton casks was quickly resurrected.

Noam Chomsky: WikiLeaks Cables Reveal Profound Hatred for Democracy on the Part of Our Political Leadership

So Hillary Clinton and Benjamin Netanyahu surely know of the careful polls of Arab public opinion. The Brookings Institute just a few months ago released extensive polls of what Arabs think about Iran. The results are rather striking. They show the Arab opinion holds that the major threat in the region is Israel -- that's 80. The second major threat is the United States -- that's 77. Iran is listed as a threat by 10%. . With regard to nuclear weapons, rather remarkably, a majority -- in fact, 57 say that the region would have a positive effect in the region if Iran had nuclear weapons. Now, these are not small numbers. 80, 77, say the U.S. and Israel are the major threat. 10 say Iran is the major threat. This may not be reported in the newspapers here -- it is in England -- but it's certainly familiar to the Israeli and U.S. governments, and to the ambassadors.

Afghan Corruption Undercuts U.S.

From hundreds of diplomatic cables, Afghanistan emerges as a looking-glass land where bribery, extortion and embezzlement are the norm and the honest man is a distinct outlier. Describing the likely lineup of Afghanistan s new cabinet last January, the American Embassy noted that the agriculture minister, Asif Rahimi, appears to be the only minister that was confirmed about whom no allegations of bribery exist.

American Diplomacy Revealed – as Good

Overall, my longstanding admiration for America s conscientious diplomats has been redoubled, not least for this underreported nugget on the turbulent Iranian election of 2009, contained in a cable of Jan. 12, 2010, from Dubai: While we don t know nor might not ever know the real June 12 vote count, it is clear that the turnout was at record high levels and that there was systematic vote count fraud (if in fact the votes were even counted) to ensure that Ahmadinejad won big in the first round.

Wikileaks CableGate Data Visualizations

Just this hour Wikileaks began releasing a controversial set of documents: US government cables.

Wikileaks is using Tableau to show the breadth of the data by subject, country, origin and classification, organization, program and topic.

Experts question North Korea-Iran missile link from WikiLeaks document release

The 19-page document, labeled "secret," summarized a Dec. 22, 2009, meeting between 15 U.S. and 14 Russian officials who gathered as part of a bilateral program to monitor missile threats from Iran and North Korea. The two sides clashed repeatedly and agreed occasionally. The Russians claimed the Iranian missile program was not as much of a threat as the Americans feared and argued that the BM-25 might not even exist, dubbing it a "mysterious missile." Americans at the meeting acknowledged never seeing the new missile in Iran.

U.S. officials try to smooth relations with Pakistan amid WikiLeaks releases

As American officials around the globe prepared last week for a deluge of leaked cables from the Web site WikiLeaks that could expose them at their least statesmanlike, they also undertook an acutely delicate diplomatic task: cushioning the blow with key friends and rivals. Few nations are higher on that list than Pakistan, an uneasy ally in the war on terror, and few harbor more doubts about U.S. loyalty.

WikiLeaks must be stopped

Let's be clear: WikiLeaks is not a news organization; it is a criminal enterprise. Its reason for existence is to obtain classified national security information and disseminate it as widely as possible -- including to the United States' enemies. These actions are likely a violation of the Espionage Act, and they arguably constitute material support for terrorism.

No Secrets

Assange is an international trafficker, of sorts. He and his colleagues collect documents and imagery that governments and other institutions regard as confidential and publish them on a Web site called WikiLeaks.org. Since it went online, three and a half years ago, the site has published an extensive catalogue of secret material, ranging from the Standard Operating Procedures at Camp Delta, in Guant namo Bay, and the "Climategate" e-mails from the University of East Anglia, in England, to the contents of Sarah Palin s private Yahoo account.
