World scandal, diplomatic Chernobil, September 11 of diplomacy, etc.
This is how the information published by the Wikileaks web site registered in Sweden called in the media. This web site, which has made a lot of noise after the publication of information about US armed forces actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, has published confidential letters leaked from the US government. On November 28 this web site started to publish the confidential correspondence of the US government with the US Embassies and Consulates, which totally amounts to 251,000 documents at its hand. The US diplomats have never suspected that their correspondence could ever be made public, they were sincere in their ideas and even insulted others. This information reveals the confidential information about the fact, that the leaders of Saudi Arabia, who are considered the ones who are founding the Al-Qaeda, have secretly asked the US government to attack Iran.
The correspondence also contains information about the instructions of the US Department of State issued to Ambassadors to collect any type of information about the high rank officials of their mission countries. It concerns not only the phone numbers, positions and addresses, but the credit card details, flight cards, e-mail addresses, work graphic and personal life as well. “In fact diplomats have to be involved in surveillance,” writes the New York Times (by the way, before publishing this information the Wikileaks sent it out to famous newspapers, thus hacking would not save it from being published).
The Wikileaks published only 243 documents out of the 251,000 documents under its possession, and this small number was enough to bring such diplomatic catastrophe. It is the topic of all headlines in the news and high rank officials who have been in touch with US missions are impatiently waiting to see if their names will appear in the news or no.
Why was it organized? Countries have not refuted this information yet but have not commented either. Nobody, even the US government has said that this information is not true. Some people say that this was organized by the US government notwithstanding the fact that they want to classify the Wikileaks as one of the terrorist organizations.
The oldest letter dates 1966, and the newest one dates February 2010. This correspondence shows that the US surveils the UN staff, ignores human rights and violations in countries where they have interests, cuts deals with countries that seem to be neutral and is involved in American corporative lobbying.
The Wikileaks press-attache Julian Assange said, “The documents prove the difference between the words and deeds of the US. If the citizens of democratic countries want their governments to make their wishes come true, they should check what is happening behind the scenes more often. Children in the US are taught that the first US president George Washington did not lie. If the administrations of the presidents of these times followed this principle, this leak would bother them a little only. But the US government has applied to all the countries of the world, even the most corrupt ones, to warn them about the leaks to be prepared for that”.
