I think you written the truth of it. That is a sad thing to have to say.

They are leaking the documents slowly though, 278 cables, they have nearly 3 million.
251,287 documents, comprising 261,276,536 words (seven times the size of "The Iraq War Logs", the world's previously largest classified information release).
More than a quarter-million U.S. State Department documents obtained by the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks were leaked to The New York Times and other international news organizations, in defiance of demands by the U.S. government to stop the release.
I heard the next leak will bring the Bank System to its knees.

More likely to bring about more federal regulation and control over the banking system, and ultimately push the system more toward a centralized status with the feds nearly in complete control... But we'll have to wait and see for sure.

Is it just me or does anyone else have the feeling that Wikileaks is a sham. Sure they are releasing the Embassy cables but they seem to advance the position of Israel and the United States. Some of the cables ARE somewhat embarrassing but nothing really damning. So what if in one cable an Ambassador calls the new British PM a "lightweight". Virtually everything leaked was really no surprise. Interresting that No leaked cables cast even the lightest dispersion on Israel. I find that strange given the very bad start Obama and Netanyahu got off to.
Nothing about Israel or the Palestinians intransiange concerning the peace process.
¶16. (C) [...] Israelis hope that the others will solve the Iranian problem for them, or as Vice PM Shimon Peres has said, "I do not think that the matter of Iran needs to be turned into an Israeli problem -- it is a matter of concern for the whole world."
Netanyahu noted that he thought dropping the "right of return" was the acid test of Arab intentions and insisted that he would never allow a single Palestinian refugee to return to Israel.
