    Has WikiLeaks disclosed anything about how or where they obtained the documents? Someone thought it a good idea to let them go.

    Same old...from the gov't and in the end they mention protecting "open government", whatever that is?

    People inside the government are leaking these documents. Bradley Manning has been charged with the unauthorized disclosure of U.S. classified information for the first wikileaks release.

    Has anyone seen anything really damaging from these data dumps? I've seen lots of FUD about what could be released, but all the details I've seen has been pretty much stuff most everyone already knew.

    The purpose of Wikileaks is to expose inside information. Why should Saud Arabia be any different?

    Well this recent leak does not add up, I believe it has been released in an organized manner to let Iran know that neighboring states have been calling for the bombing of Iran, this can lead to Iran doing something stupid and finally give the U.S. & Zionists a reason to air raid nuclear facilities.

    Solarporducts was right I think. maybe this is first time some documents revealed how much Saudis and also other Arabic Sheikhs are against Iran. I guess right now they are thinking USA betrays them.
    maybe these documents revealed by purpose!

    I think Iran and Saudi know each other quite well, so need not to see such ducuments. both always smile to each other but their daggers are ready.
    during Iran Iraq war Saudis were main supporter of Sadam and beside Saudis oil facilities mainly are in it's Shiite districts.

    I don't think there is a visible hatred between them, but behind closed doors there definitely is.

    But the leak does not help the Middle East as it did in the past when Iraq and Afghanistan files were released, rather we could now have more tension and problems in the region, that is why I'm saying this is an organized leak, something is fishy here.

    The Saudi information was a tiny little piece of this data dump. It revealed no new information. It is humorous that our Wahhabi member supports previous leaks which may have gotten people killed and is opposed to this leak which at most embarrass the Saudi royal family.

    Well, it looks like Ahmadinejad doesn't believe Wikileaks is credible anymore.

    Ahmadinejad said the documents are 'so worthless that it isn't worth someone referring to them or wasting time to refer to them.'

    His feelings may have been hurt in part, by one of the Wikileaks about Iran developing a new suicide vest for al qaeda in Iraq.

    That could certainly damage relations with the Shia terrorists that Iran is funding and arming in Iraq. :rolleyes:

    SolarProducts is only happy if the leaks somehow embarrass the US, like the first doctored helicopter video was meant to do. Anything that does not specifically embarrass the US needs to be questioned and considered false, according to him. I don't know about you, but Hilary looked pretty pissed off about the bit showing her instructions to spy on our allies in the UN. From my perspective, the leaks back up information I think many of us already suspected or knew to be true, and if SolarProducts comments are further evidence of anything, it is that Saudi Arabia is as off the ranch as they ever have been. Its a shame we need their vote on OPEC so badly, or I suspect we would be aiding those who desire to bring an end to that brutal dictatorship.

    I read somewhere that Ahmadinejad called these wiki-leaks psychological warfare by the US. Hmmm
