Lets see, do you consider some of these cables harming the US national security?
1. One of the published cables provided this description of Sarkozy: "An activist on the international scene, with an opportunistic eye for grabbing attention and credit, Sarkozy will remain a challenging partner despite his desire to improve the bilateral relationship."
2. The newspaper says one 2008 cable characterizes the relationship between Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's president, and its Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as a partnership in which Medvedev, who has the grander title, "plays Robin to Putin's Batman."
3. It also says a cable describes Italy's Berlusconi as "feckless, vain and ineffective as a modern European leader." One cable from Rome to Washington describes Berlusconi as "physically and politically weak" and asserts that his "frequent late nights and penchant for partying hard mean he does not get sufficient rest."
4. One cable posted by The New York Times describes Gaddafi's insistence on staying on the first floor when he visited New York for a 2009 meeting at the United Nations and his reported refusal or inability to climb more than 35 steps.
5. Gaddafi, who has ruled Libya for over 40 years, is also said to rely heavily on his staff of four Ukranian nurses, including a woman named Galyna Kolotnytska, who is described as a "voluptuous blonde
6. According to the Guardian, Hamid Karzai is described in another cable as "an extremely weak man who did not listen to facts but was instead easily swayed by anyone who came to report even the most bizarre stories or plots against him."
