Wikileaks November 28, 2010

The New York Times has two great articles about the latest Wikileaks document dump.

1. An episodic look at the skullduggery that lies beneath our diplomacy. We don’t come off that well when you shine this kind of light on the way we throw our weight around.

2. A behind-the-scenes look at the diplomatic intrigue surrounding Iran. Its Arab neighbors apparently spend a lot of time pushing the US to use force to end Iran’s nuclear program. According to the article, they think like the Israelis do on this.
