[lbo-talk] Wikileaks according to The Guardian

[Carrol Cox]

The gambit of 'leaking' disinformation is a very ancient one. It is one of
the reasons, in fact, that espionage has always, even when successful, been
of doubtful use in warfare.

Some of these leaks might very well bolster the U.S.'s military case against
Iran, particularly the memos stating that North Korea has sold arms to Iran.
 The memos that show Arab leaders expressing support for the U.S.'s line on
Iran might also prove useful in gathering an international consensus against
Iran and for a U.S./Israeli/NATO coalition.  One memo feels queasily similar
to the smoking gun defense of the Bush administration,  "Nuclear warheads in
Iran are pointed at European cities and Moscow as we speak."  The problem
with wikileaks is that the information leaked could just as easily be
disinformation.
