Journalists could learn something from reading these documents. Not only the scandals of Countries calling each other names and gossip about who insulted who at state dinners. But the language itself, honest, blunt, straightforward and easy to understand, implying little and talking only of concrete ideas, not obsolete tit bits.
There are many around the world condemning these reports. As though governments departments being honest and transparent is too dangerous. Secrecy, diplomacy and innuendo seem to be the mainstay of failed representational government. No blood will be spilled as a result of the documents becoming public. But perhaps the questions they prompt will force a change in the political game.
It is already obvious who leaked these documents. Expect more leaks to come, and plan on having nothing to hide.
