On a daily basis, embassies send and receive official, often confidential, diplomatic telegrams known as cables. On Sunday, November 28th, 2010 the website WIkiLeaks and five leading newspapers started to release 251, 287 confidential US cables. The cables are being released in portions to create the greatest impact and receive the most attention – and that they are, the original WikiLeaks site got dropped.

Now aside from all the specific and immediate negative implications of Cablegate, certain questions arise.
My question: Should the world see these documents? Do they want to?
