The allegations are major enough to cause serious embarrassment for foreign governments, the sources said.

Some governments appear to be bracing for the impact of the revelations.

According to the London-based daily al-Hayat, the WikiLeaks release includes documents that show Turkey has helped al-Qaeda in Iraq -- and that the United States has supported the PKK, a Kurdish rebel organization that has been waging a separatist war against Turkey since 1984, the Washington Post reported.

The U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv warned the Israeli foreign ministry that some of the cables could concern U.S.-Israel relations, the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz reported, citing a senior Israeli official. http://r.reuters.com/cek37q

And this is what is being admitted to. Imagine what will be denied.

4. Perhaps it is time for governments to listen to their mothers

Mothers used to tell their children ... "Don't do anything you would not want to see printed in a newspaper!!"

Governments today, the people in charge, do so much that is illegal that it is a farce. If they would heed this maxim the world be a better place. I do understand that their are things that governments need to do to protect their citizens and not let the world know, but it has gotten out of hand.
