Richard Holbrooke, the top U.S. Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, died after emergency heart surgery at the age of 69. His last words, reported by family members and his surgeon before he underwent surgery were: "You have to stop this war in Afghanistan".

These dying words were reported in his obituary in the Washington Post and on major US networks and international news agencies. So why did big Canadian media outlets not event make mention of this in their reports on his death ?

We have no way to determine whether WikiLeaks itself is genuine.

But we do have enough information in the nature of the leaks to reach some tentative conclusions.

The leaked material is almost certainly all genuine.

But it is highly selective, a crucial fact.

Durant neuf mois, des grèvettes d’une journée ont été mises de l’avant par les syndicats. Tout a été fait pour empêcher une grève générale illimitée.

Ms. Stronach,

Recently you were honured by the Jewish National Fund for helping to raise funds for the building of settlements in the Negev. (see news article) Those settlements are being built on land stolen from the Bedouin who are being driven off their land as the Palestinians have been for the past sixty-two years. I was recently in Israel and in the Palestinian territories and I would like to tell you about the Bedouin village of Al-Arakib which has now been destroyed for a seventh time in a period of four months. The Israelis come in, bulldoze the village, then the Bedouin come back and rebuild. This is what is happening in the Negev by way of the Jewish National Fund, with your help. That makes you an accomplice to ethnic-cleansing.

The stuck pigs are squealing. To shift the onus from the U.S. State Department, Hillary Clinton paints WikiLeaks release of the diplomatic cables as an attack on the international community. To reveal truth is equivalent, in the eyes of the U.S. government, to an attack on the world.

It is WikiLeaks fault that all those U.S. diplomats wrote a quarter of a million undiplomatic messages about Americas allies, a.k.a. puppet states. It is also WikiLeaks fault that a member of the U.S. government could no longer stomach the cynical ways in which the U.S. government manipulates foreign governments to serve, not their own people, but American interests, and delivered the incriminating evidence to WikiLeaks.
