  1. Ignatieff’s CBC and most of his supporters also love the latest wikileaks. Stay tuned for their ‘in-depth’ report hammering our military and evil ‘anti-islamic’ US foreign policy. Paradoxically, Ignatieff supported the Iraq war and many of the ‘secret documents’ contained in this release. Btw, how is it possible that Julian assange is still alive?

  5. I’m trying hard to feel slighted at being excluded from the list. Sometimes it’s good to be boring.

  6. After having been through about a dozen of these, I’m not seeing anything other than internal “press releases” used mostly as briefing notes. The security status I think has more to do with internal control about what gets released to the public than its inherent security status. So far I haven’t seen anything that wouldn’t either be common knowledge to the diplomatic community (offically or unoffically), or routine expected. Only the truly naive progressives are going to see much here. Of greater concern is that the Guardian has muddied the waters by editing, altered and adapted the “memos” for the web. In doing so, there no longer is any credibilty that they say what the Guardian purports them to say.
    If it were me, the NYT, the Guardian and Julian Assange would disappear tonight, just for spite, if nothing else. Certainly, I expect the US to begin prosecution and ultimately summary executions for treason, but that’s just me.

  7. Btw, how is it possible that Julian Assange is still alive?
    Because the western world and the USA in particular is missing a pair.
    Why do you think the Muslims are winning?

  8. Everybody says bad shit about everyone else. In this world, anyone who thinks that countries are not slimy, adversarial and hypocritical is living in a James Cameron Movie with giant blue Indians.
    Other than having some of these solid suspicions verified, I don’t see what the big deal is here.
    Nothing much will come of it all in the end. A few embarrassments and a some resignations perhaps, but the world continues to spin.

  9. Julian Assange may be the most dangerous and reckless man in the world.
    Considering damage he has done to the Middle East countries relations with each other, the Saudis will probably have him assassinated, with help from every other country in the world.
    I wish him nothing but misfortune and misery and would welcome his demise as much as that of bin Laden.

  10. Apparently we get a Thursday focus for our “inferiority complex”
    Yawn….if this is what passes for in depth analysis on Canada you could just call me up and get the same opinion. This is a national characteristic, fuelled by things like the attitude Kate hints at in the headline.
    Canadians have been and will remain this way for a long time, desires to punch above our weight, make big contibutions, worrying about security council seats all are symptoms of an inferiroty complex. A confident country, or better said a confident elite wouldnt give a damn about this stuff. Somehow I think it is the elite that cars more about these things, careerist diplomats etc not the normal Canadian.
    Yawn….

  12. I thought that so many of the statements made about various world leaders was terrifically refreshing and really bang on. It seems like a long time since we’ve had such unvarnished straight up talk.

  14. LOL if anything like this shows up …
    “Where the f**k is all this warm air they were talking about?”

  16. Kathryn at 6:36 PM: “We’re not a no-show! We are important on the world stage!
    Almost 2,000 cables originating from U.S. diplomats in Canada appear to be among the leaked materials.”
    Oh, I’m so proud!!!! LOL!!

  17. I pointed out at the CBC that the other WikiLeaks were nothing so I expect no more from this. What was interesting to me was how Climategate proved fraud was committed but went unreported.
    For some reason I haven’t been able to log in since.

  18. I think that the Canadian government figured out Obama et al. very early
    – right down to Obama’s enthusiasm for sports – well before he was elected. My congratulations if that is so.

  19. From what I hear the files being dumped go back as far as 1966. I was hoping we would get some more info on Mackenzie King and his ties to the Rockerfellers. And Old Red Mike Pearson and his ties to Communism. Or maybe something on the Communist A*s Kisser Trudeau. Seems all the files on Igor Gouzenko were destroyed to keep the Communist Liberals out of trouble.

  20. RFB at 7:30 PM: “I was hoping we would get some more info on Mackenzie King and his ties to the Rockerfellers.”
    Oh, hell, how about his conversations with his mother. Now that would be interesting.

  22. What’s the big deal? Like I hear so often when issues of personal privacy arise, if government isn’t doing anything wrong, they have nothing to worry about if somebody reads their email.
    Right?
    Beuler? Beuler? Beuler?

  23. So a bunch of high mucky mucks get their precious cranked up egos bruised…oh cry me a river.
    I’m with Abe Froman on this, nothing like a little refreshing honesty glaring them all in the blessed mirror. They don’t do ‘truth’ very well…
    Ooohh somebody said something nasty…let them all pound sand.
    The Obama-Nation(tm) is not as lily white as advertised, is anyone surprised? Oh Clinton ordered the US to spying on the UN, who can’t mount a one man rush to the outhouse; still less act as a guarantor of human rights.
    Oh the US does muscle flexing and gets occasionally catty…whoopee! Not really earth shattering news…just confirms what most well read observant students of politics and international relations suspected.
    Any other nation is in the same soup or orders of magnitude worse.
    In other news Russia finally formally admitted the former Soviet Union liquidated polish officers in the Katyn forest.
    And now it is revealed that the Saudis finance Al Qaeda, no big surprise there either.
    As the dutch say “Laat em in der own soep koeke!”
    Let them stew in their own soup.

  25. The state works for the people, hence the people have the right to know everything that goes on, hence these leaks (whether new or not) are totally appropriate.
    Correspondingly, as an employee (“the state”), the information on my hard drive, emails, etc, is not my private information, it is owned by my employer (“the people”).

  26. That may be how it works in your opium dreams, but on planet Earth certain information is rightly kept confidential and for reasons so self-evident that I suspect your protestations are simply anti-Americanism masquerading as noble truth-seeking.

  27. Is there any chance that anything he’s released this time might p*ss off Putin? ‘Cause that would probably do the trick.

  28. Yeah, how come no mention of scary Stevie’s hidden agenda to turn Canada into the 58th state? Surely there would have been SOME mention of the secret discussions those neo-cons had so that Harper could give them our oil and water.

  29. Why is Julian Assange still alive some ask or at least, why is wikileaks still opened for business?
    Here is one plausible explanation:
    Useful Idiot
    In the New world order, coming sooner than you think in a neighborhood too close for our own comfort, the internet as we know it, could cease to exist.
    Being that bankrupting nations; alleged to be by design, is at it’s final stage, the internet is one of the last major obstacle for the globalists to take care off.
    Last week, could have been a “mini test strike” where sites for illegal file sharing, including sites that were merely “search sites”, containing no “illegal files” per say were shutdown…Further long run and trickling of population desensitizing just like the TSA scanning; which past with merely a peep from the population during thanksgiving, could soon “progress” to being located everywhere including your neighborhood Walmart and McDonald.
    What if the globalists decided to play a mock “World escalates towards possible conflict ever since damaging wikileaks were released” using their MSM servants to scare the living daylights out of soccer moms and the other oblivious zombies that are now a majority amongst us (By design?), how long would it take for them to want sensorship control of the internet, including, already totally exposed by the MSM at that time, “internet troublemakers” like Prison Planet, Michael Savage or even SDA?
    The globalists are patient…The above is mesured in years of trickle down fear mongering and desensitizing. All in the name of ‘security’ of course.
    Assange and is Wikileaks could be “useful idiots”.
