Travelling back to the US for a few weeks. i am following the wikileaks scandal with interest. Contrary to what the news outlets say, i see little of interest in the first tranche of 233 documents: beyond what Ahmedinajad thinks of Berlusconi and the US thinks of Pakistan (we already knew they needed Pakistan but did not trust it), i see little worthy of more than a big YAAAAWN! There were some revelations that Yemen's leaders were letting the US conduct bombings while stating in public that only Yemenis were conducting the raids but nothing significant to affect the big picture.
Now, if we found out that the US is planning to change its Middle East policy or that India will agree to give up nuclear weapons for a seat on the UN Security Council, THAT would be of interest!
Trust Gadhafi to take the first step, however: after the US Ambassador made some remarks about his "voluptuous" nurse, he has been asked to return home.
