While the party line is that Julian Assange is a terrorist deserving the same punishment as Osama Bin Laden there are some others who suspect the very veracity of the leaks :
"this latest wikileaks cache seems to be a plant by the Americans. There is nothing truly revealing about the cables. Everything I've seen so far is basically what the US would like to say but can't do so officially because of diplomatic and political constraints. I think our man Assange has been snookered. "
"the merit of content leaked by "Cablegate". Nothing that we don't already know - Iran's nuclear ambitions, corruption in Afghanistan, Pakistan's coziness with terrorists, Middle East's distrust of Iran, Putin's an alpha dog, etc. etc. C'mon! If this is what US Ambassadors and Embassy staff are typing back to State department, then it's a huge waste of taxpayers' money, cause we can read these things in NY Times/Washington Post! Cablegate is the National Enquirer version of world diplomacy – American style."
Difficult to sift fact from fiction. What do you think the truth is? Are these leaks for real? or are they a plant in the greatest information hoax ever to happen since a dead body washed off the shore of Spain during WWII ("Operation Mincemeat")
