Is US Foreign Policy Crippled Following Latest Wikileaks Dump?

November 28, 2010

The following article contains excerpts and references from the leaked documents.

Zero Hedge reports:

The latest Wikileaks data dump has been released and it is about to make the world hate the US just that little bit more: it represents a massive sampling of the daily traffic between the State Department and some 270 embassies and consulates. And as the attached front page of tomorrow’s Der Spiegel shows, according to the unclassified US embassy cables, America had something quite unpleasant to say about virtually everyone, culminating with Ahmadinejad, who was called “Hitler.”

But aside from the unpleasantries which may or may not be buried (and don’t expect a prompt burial: Der Spiegel is already on the case and has this to say, “251,000 State Department documents, many of them secret embassy reports from around the world, show how the US seeks to safeguard its influence around the world.  It is nothing short of a political meltdown for US foreign policy“) the far bigger question will be how the once great American superpower could have allowed such a huge oversight in traditionally classified diplomacy. Very soon the once legendary US foreign service department will be butt of all jokes. Perhaps it is time for someone within the administration to finally take some blame for this fiasco, although we most certainly are not holding our breath for a Hillary Clinton resignation

The actual searchable leaked dump can be found here.
