BBC News - Wikileaks: US allies unruffled by embassy cable leaks

BBC News - Wikileaks: US allies unruffled by embassy cable leaks

The most surprising thing about the cables is the absence of any real surprises. It's almost at though the U.S. is pulling a rope-a-dope, by letting people think these are the most top secret transmissions the incentive to find the "real" top secret transmissions is reduced. Are not the most secret communications more encoded and vague so that even if the words are revealed understanding the meaning requires context? If the hot stuff is quotes that Hugo Chavez is crazy or Iran is fascist, then trust me, this load of info is a load of chaff.
