WIKILEAKS

So much could be said about the Wikileaks documents, but this one on the role of China in not stopping North Korean missiles from being transported to Iran is particularly troubling.

Der Spiegel's analysis. Never before in history has a superpower lost control of such vast amounts of such sensitive information -- data that can help paint a picture of the foundation upon which US foreign policy is built. Never before has the trust America's partners have in the country been as badly shaken. Now, their own personal views and policy recommendations have been made public -- as have America's true views of them.

Jimmy Carter, deja vu.
