Cables Uncloak U.S. Diplomacy

A cache of diplomatic cables provide a chronicle of the United States’ relations with the world.

About the Documents

A mammoth cache of a quarter-million confidential American diplomatic cables, most of them from the last three years, provides an unprecedented look at bargaining by embassies, candid views of foreign leaders and assessments of threats. The material was obtained by WikiLeaks and made available to a number of news organizations in advance.

A Note to Readers: The Decision to Publish Diplomatic Documents

The Times believes that the documents serve an important public interest, illuminating the goals, successes, compromises and frustrations of American diplomacy in a way that other accounts cannot match.
