He also raped 2 women in Sweden and fled the country before he could be charged with sexual assault (rape).
faith from usa
have you been one of the raped women? one women was from a Swedish feminist organisation…she don’t want to bring him in prison,the first attorney didn’t accused him the second attorney only want to speak with him that is my
information i can get in germany…we should not be part of a smear campaign of different secret services…
in germany we had 1984 a similar case of a smear campaign through different secret service.A German General was Commander of NATO land forces and deputy to the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.
In 1983 General Kießling was secretly accused of homosexuality, which, in his position, was regarded as a security risk and led to his premature retirement. The allegations were later found to be without foundation and he was rehabilitated

@hakimi,

Yep, Most of the cables don't appear "secret" , people knew most of it already.

@Spontan

Those highlights were given is an Indian newspaper, so it might be from an indian perspective . Good observation of sexual assault and dirty face of diplomacy…

@ Faith.

The only thing that is endangered is US friendship with it Allies.  The cables reflect the utter arrogance and "superiority complex" of the US administration, just like those Terrorists who target inferior Infidels.

If US doesn't shun arrogance, they will be friendless and lonely which one day could destroy all its power.

Internet is a great step forward in human progress.

yes but we must learn to use this new freedom….englishbaby is an good example, most members and ebaby staff can now handle their Internet freedom…sure we have sometimes opposite meanings like in the past,but there are not the insulting and hurting battles from the past….now is much more respect and sometimes i have the feeling that there is also a thinking about the opposite argues, but sure it is more respect….

 

not all is ok what wikileaks is doing, but on the other side is the work of ambassadors and secret services are also very insulting hurting…there is a need that citizen can control their government…what happens when you can't control the government you can see in russia….not wikileaks says that there rules the maffia behind the politician its the us embassy stuff and i think the us embassy has right….most what the us embassy staff cabled about our german government was also right….but this kind of embassy work is not helpful because it destroy trust….and trust is the fuel of diplomacy.

here you see how the trust is between Germany and USA
