Re "leaked cables Offer a raw Look Inside American diplomacy" (front page, Nov. 29): as a person values transparency and responsible Government, I am grateful that you decided to print the diplomatic documents originally produced by WikiLeaks for public review.
When the Government documents is leaked and the public is the rare opportunity to slowly in on the Government, a setback, "national security do not reveal secrets!!"occurs.
I say this to our Government: If you are not doing anything wrong, what you need to fear from your made public papers?
The New York Times from printing the Pentagon Papers these recent documents has always been an invaluable resource for the public.

Re "a note to readers: the decision to publish the diplomatic documents" (Nov. 29):
You seem to think, to reveal the diplomatic talks do not have a dangerous chilling effect on diplomats work, but are you willing to have your internal editorial discussions published? to have other decides what will and what does not compromise your news-gathering methods? would not chill your ability to work?
We get answers when WikiLeaks publishes a trove of secret documents, the New York Times.

It is absolutely outrageous for the American Government spokespeople use North American troops as an excuse not to disclose embarrassing and quite often look unprofessional diplomatic exchanges.

I would not be so quick to lay all the blame on WikiLeaks.Take a look at all the smaller than discreet government workers who originally wrote the documents, they should have known better. Never write something, you do not want someone else to read.
This is good advice for people in sensitive positions, as well as for any of us, who are quick to put a tanks for the paper it is all too easy for the seemingly innocuous comments will be fuel for someone else's brand.

It is completely naive of me will be sincere officials say the same things in private as they do in public? the Saudis in private demand actions of the United States, that they would condemn publicly, as do others in the region. We provide a military umbrella for Nations, as private, or support staff, money, and scope for the terrorists.
We have fought both official wars (Iraq, Afghanistan) and unofficial them (Pakistan, Yemen). the problem is, we do not know who our friends and enemies are no longer in this area of the world., let us come out.

Leaked diplomatic cables are really see. my personal favorite is one from the King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, as "repeatedly implored Washington ' cut off the head of the snake '" — that is to say, to attack Iran — "while there was still time."
Abdullah As well knows, would such an action even more stir up the Arab and Muslim public opinion against the United States from Indonesia to London.
In the meantime, Saudi Arabia is financing the madrasa 1990s in Pakistan and other places where "students" (read: possible future terrorists) Learn nothing but hatred of the Americans and Jews.

Your articles about the leaked cables are all the proof we need of axiom, put in writing, not something you do not want to display on the front page of The New York Times.
