StateLogs | Wikileaks diplomatic cables, by OWNI U.S. has warm words for ex-Guantanamo detainee WASHINGTON — A U.S. consular official in Luxembourg gave a former Guantanamo detainee warm praise earlier this year in a cable to Washington made public Monday by the website WikiLeaks. The cable, written Jan. 15, recounted the visit to Luxembourg of Moazzam Begg, a British citizen who was arrested in Pakistan in 2002 and was held until 2005 by the Americans in Afghanistan and Guantanamo as a suspected member of al Qaida. His story, including allegations that U.S. soldiers beat him in Afghanistan, was recounted in the 2007 Academy Award winning documentary "Taxi to the Dark Side." After his release, Begg began pushing for European countries to accept Guantanamo detainees, and was in Luxembourg to press his case, including a meeting Jan. 14 with the country's foreign minister. His visit was monitored with interest by a U.S. consular officer, who attended an Amnesty International-sponsored screening of the film, where Begg also spoke. "Mr. Read the cable

Wikileaks ActusFR (WikileaksActus) Obama and GOPers Worked Together to Kill Bush Torture Probe In its first months in office, the Obama administration sought to protect Bush administration officials facing criminal investigation overseas for their involvement in establishing policies the that governed interrogations of detained terrorist suspects. A "confidential" April 17, 2009, cable sent from the US embassy in Madrid to the State Department—one of the 251,287 cables obtained by WikiLeaks—details how the Obama administration, working with Republicans, leaned on Spain to derail this potential prosecution. The previous month, a Spanish human rights group called the Association for the Dignity of Spanish Prisoners had requested that Spain's National Court indict six former Bush officials for, as the cable describes it, "creating a legal framework that allegedly permitted torture." Soon after the request was made, the US embassy in Madrid began tracking the matter. Two weeks later, Sen. On April 15, Sen. Still, this did not end the matter.

The moral standards of WikiLeaks critics - Glenn Greenwald The WikiLeaks disclosure has revealed not only numerous government secrets, but also the driving mentality of major factions in our political and media class. Simply put, there are few countries in the world with citizenries and especially media outlets more devoted to serving, protecting and venerating government authorities than the U.S. Indeed, I don’t quite recall any entity producing as much bipartisan contempt across the American political spectrum as WikiLeaks has: as usual, for authoritarian minds, those who expose secrets are far more hated than those in power who commit heinous acts using secrecy as their principal weapon. The way in which so many political commentators so routinely and casually call for the eradication of human beings without a shred of due process is nothing short of demented. Those who demand that the U.S. WOLF BLITZER, HOST: Brooke, thanks very much. In sum, I seriously question the judgment of anyone who — in the face of the orgies of secrecy the U.S.

Gates on Leaks, Wiki and Otherwise Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has regularly denounced Wikileaks in recent months for its extensive disclosures, and as a former director of central intelligence he places high value on secrets. But at a Pentagon briefing on Tuesday, Mr. Here is some of what he said: “Let me just offer some perspective as somebody who’s been at this a long time. “Now, I’ve heard the impact of these releases on our foreign policy described as a meltdown, as a game-changer, and so on. “So other nations will continue to deal with us. “Is this embarrassing?

Henk van Ess (@henkvaness) WikiLeaks cables are dispatches from a beleaguered America in imperial retreat | Neal Ascherson | Comment is free | The Observer There's more to the WikiLeaks dispatches than leaks. Look behind them, at the writers, and you see the loyal rearguard of America: an imperial power in retreat. There was a tradition in our Foreign Office that a retiring ambassador could blow off steam. In a final, exuberant telegram to Whitehall, he could say exactly what he thought of the country he was leaving, and of the folly of the Foreign Office in ignoring his advice.The best telegrams were treasured by young diplomats. But they began to leak into the press. Now the WikiLeaks eruption has smothered the world with the secret thoughts of the state department's ambassadors. These diplomats who didn't want us to know their thoughts are not mere cogs in an imperial machine. The test of an ambassador is telling truth to those who wield the power – having the guts to tell the department that its plan is a delusion. Not all the dispatch-writers are that sound. Britain doesn't cut a pretty figure in the cables. Perhaps not.

WikiLeaks cables: You ask, we search | World news @AuMoulinVert asked for Olympics 2012 French presidential hopeful, Ségolène Royal, told US diplomats French arrogance was partly to blame for Paris's lost bid to host the 2012 Olympic games. The games were awarded to London after a closely contested vote that saw both Tony Blair then French president Jacques Chirac fly to Singapore in July 2005 to make their case to delegates. A confidential cable dated 17 February 2006 from the US ambassador to Paris concerning a recent meeting with Royal said she had suggested, he wrote, a need "to find France's place in the world" with the French government showing less arrogance in how it speaks to the world. The latter factor, she suggested, had played a role in the defeat of France's 2012 Olympics candidacy, he wrote. Reports at the time said Chirac had said of the British bid: "We can't trust people who have such bad food. @Abracarioca asked for anything on Roman Polanski from the Bern or Paris embassies @WallyHoest asked for Geert Wilders
