The truth is those State Department cables are actually assessment of the host country's information. Many of those information so called classified are NOT at all classified. Most of those information are well-known. And some of those information are misleading i.e. the relationship between China and N. Korea. What the hell an American diplomat discussing the N. Korea situation with a senior Chinese government official really knows WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON IN N. Korea. Leave the work for the CIA to do !!
However, the videos leaked by Wiki Leak showed the US Army helicopter gunners killed two Thomson-Reuters reporters are shocking to the world and showed the world the Iraqi War is more about oil, money but also indiscriminate killings of civilians and reporters !!!

And what in inspiration and role model Rupe is to the dissemination of truth. Slice of irony pie, anyone? Way to go, Assange. You'd have been better off quoting Pinocchio.

Inside the astonishing subterranean WikiLeaks bunker
A bit overdramatic by the newspaper as many companies store data there rather than it being some sort of evil lair for Assange alone but interesting pics nonetheless

Just like out of a Bond film: Inside the astonishing subterranean WikiLeaks bunker
Mysterious: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
With his eccentric personal life and air of mystery, the flamboyant WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seems to be doing his best to impersonate a James Bond villain.
How appropriate, then, that he has chosen what looks like an 007 film set as the back-up store for the thousands of confidential emails and documents that have shaken the world.
These pictures show the Pionen data centre, 100ft below ground in a former Cold War nuclear bunker, where all the WikiLeaks files are being kept.
Nerve centre: Super-servers which act for storage for many companies are also used by WikiLeaks to store its information
U-boat back-up: Submarine engines are used as emergency generators at the Bahnhof internet service provider, in Stockholm, Sweden
The vast cave, drilled into granite under the Vita Berg Park in Stockholm, houses dozens of computer servers used as storage by many companies.
Complete with a 'floating' conference room, suspended glass corridors, lunar landscape flooring, designer furniture, and even, intriguingly, German U-boat engines as back-up generators, all that is missing is the bleached-blond Assange himself, stroking a white cat.
The disused bunker was reopened in 2008 with its futuristic design the brainchild of Swedish architects Albert France-Lanord, who were inspired by Bond sets created by Sir Kenneth Adams.
The brutalist design is softened by plants kept alive by brilliant solar lighting and artificial waterfalls.
While on the run from Swedish and American authorities, Assange has had to use this secure base for his files.
Chilly reception: The bunker, drilled into granite under the Vita Berg Park, could withstand a nuclear attack
Plant life: The offices feature lunar-landscape flooring, glass corridors and a 'floating' conference room
WikiLeaks was hosted by internet retailer Amazon but it was kicked off its website following intense pressure from American politicians.
Assange then used a French firm before being expelled from there as well.
As a result, WikiLeaks has set up numerous 'domain names' in dozens of countries, each linked to one that keeps copies of the original files.
Assange has turned to Sweden because the country's laws are some of the best in the world for protecting the work of freedom of speech campaigners.
Under Swedish law, WikiLeaks cannot be prosecuted and neither can the people who pass it information.
Wikileaks is funded by a mixture of public donations, help from Assange's wealthy patrons and, so far as anyone can tell, a fair bit by Assange himself.
But the cost of this storage will be very little, because although Assange's team have released several million documents, in data terms this is not a large amount.
Everything WikiLeaks has in its possession could probably be stored on a high-capacity memory stick.
However, putting it into the trust of this set-up - which any self-respecting Bond villain would be proud of - must surely pander to Julian Assange's huge ego.
Space age: Under Swedish law, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cannot be prosecuted for publishing the sensitive information
Rock solid: The entrance to the Pionen high-security computer storage facility
Inspiration? Bond villain Hugo Drax, played by Michael Lonsdale, in the 1979 film Moonraker

Tow the line much daily mail?
Does ANYBODY view the daily mail or Sun as in any way being credible?
Given that they're no more than government mouthpieces, this is pretty much proof that the government is targetting Assange and adds strength to the idea that the rape allegations are false.

Facetious already beat him to it. It was quite clever. Ass is short for Assange.

Re: wikileaks US diplomatic files
If you do want to check it out, the webadress might be down, the IP usually works:
http://213.251.145.96/
It IS interesting.
The Wikileaks team are the kind of reporters we had years ago - before media got pretty much bought up and have sold out on their true role: To watch over government etc, and to tell people about the lies and the secret deals they make.
As Boothbabe stated: They are the people who are supposed to serve us. And tell us the truth.
As they corrupted the system, we need people who take action against them.
