Wikileaks

Wikileaks began on Sunday November 28th publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. The documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into US Government foreign activities.
These leaks have stirred a worldwide shock and have gained a lot of attention, they are all over the news worldwide. The website is so popular that when i tried to open it, it took me 5 attempts because it has too much load on it. Wikileaks has revealed a lot of new and insider information, the top few are the follows :

•  King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly asked the U.S. to "cut off the head of the snake" -- meaning, it appears, to bomb Iran's nuclear program. Leaders of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern nations expressed similar views.
• Afghan Vice President Ahmed Zia Massoud took $52 million in cash when he visited the United Arab Emirates last year, according to one cable. The Afghan government has been plagued by allegations of corruption.
• The United States has been working to remove highly enriched uranium from a Pakistani nuclear reactor, out of concern that it could be used to build an illicit nuclear device. The effort, which began in 2007, continues.
• The State Department labeled Qatar the worst country in the region for counterterrorism efforts.The country's security services were "hesitant to act against known terrorists out of concern for appearing to be aligned with the U.S. and provoking reprisals," according to one cable.
• Clinton may have asked diplomats to gather intelligence on U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's plans for Iran, and information on Sudan (including Darfur), Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Iran and North Korea.

There are many more pieces of information that have been revealed but these have stirred up a lot of attention, especially in Pakistan and other countries involved. These cables have also been released through well known news posts like the New York Times, The Guardian of Britain and Der Speigl of Germany. This revelation of new information is going to change a lot of the world history, but the authenticity of it is very questionable, particularly for one reason. Why is the website not blocked by the United States, despite all the damage it might cause to their diplomacy its still running. The US has the abillity to block any website and they can even stop Julian Assange but they are not, which raises questions, maybe they don'd mind this information from being released, because most of its content will raise alot of issues between middle east, Pakistan, Iran , Afghanistan, Korea and China. In other words the Muslim world and the upcoming Asian super power. Though most of it can be true leaking this information to the public will cause conflict among these nations, therefore the US has some benefit  out of wikileak.
