I'm finishing now, but Matthew Weaver will resume live blogging early tomorrow morning on this story as the world digests the first batch of these classified US cables - 250,000 of them. There will be more - much more to come - in the next few days. The Guardian's editor, Alan Rusbridger, will be responding to questions live online at 4pm tomorrow. Thanks for all your comments.

So far this is of the greatest concern to me. What is the US doing collecting fingerprints, iris scans, DNA on politicians worldwide??????? It is totally outrageous and sounds quite sinister. WHAT is the purpose behind this?edit on 28-11-2010 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)
Addressee Posts are instructed to deliver the talking points to Host Governments in paragraph 4 on Thursday, September 17, as a non-paper, but no earlier than 9:30 a.m. (Easter Daylight Time - Washington, D.C.). USNATO, Embassies in NATO Capitals (except for Embassies Warsaw and Prague), Embassy Tokyo, Embassy Moscow, and Embassies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) are instructed also to deliver the tailored talking points for NATO, Japan, Russia, and the GCC States in paragraphs 5-8. Action Request addressees should attempt to provide pre-notifications immediately prior to the public announcement of the Presidential decision but not before 9:30 a.m. EDT; with the different time zones involved, Washington recognizes that some notifications may not occur until after the White House public announcement. Posts may draw upon the Questions and Answers to be provided reftel for use with Host Governments on an "if asked" basis, or as Posts determine is appropriate. The Questions and Answers in reftel may be drawn upon by Posts but should not/not be handed over to Host Governments. Materials for public diplomacy (e.g., Fact Sheet, Questions and Answers, and POTUS Statement) will be provided to Posts septel. Posts please notify the Department regarding date of delivery, recipients, and reaction, if any.

But if you check the counter on the website this is not true as ONLY 220 documents were released so far. This is the trick where the media is playing the keyrole. When the rest will be released, most of the people are already not going to watch as they believe they know everything already.
