The crusade continues. WikiLeaks, a website dedicated to disclosing official secrets, has begun releasing about 250,000 US diplomatic cables. This follows its publication of thousands of confidential military files relating to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Much of the new information is unsurprising – the US is concerned about Pakistani nuclear weapons; US diplomats, like their counterparts, spy as well as lie abroad for their country. The cumulative effect will to cause embarrassment, if not lasting damage.
斗争在继续。致力于曝光官方机密的网站——维基解密(WikiLeaks)已开始发布约25万份美国外交电报。该网站之前就公布了数千份与伊拉克和阿富汗战争有关的军方机密文件。新披露的许多信息毫无出人意料之处:美国对巴基斯坦的核武器感到关切;美国外交官和全世界同行一样,为了自己国家的利益,在国外当间谍,并且说谎成性。此次曝光行动的累积效应,即使不会造成持久的损害,也必将引起尴尬。
