The previous Wikileaks were targeting U.S. operations in the Middle East, but now, they might serve to embarrass several allies, including Italy and Israel. MSNBC is reporting that Italy is worried about how such leaks, or rather, how the information in the leaks will hurt the Government. It seems that several Allies have been supporting things which either their populace wouldn’t like or other allies wouldn’t appreciate –
According to the London-based daily al-Hayat, the WikiLeaks release includes documents that show Turkey has helped al-Qaida 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.
Others are suggesting that U.S.-Israel’s relationship might be further strained.
Maybe knowing how our respective Governments are really operating on the World Stage is not a bad thing – and knowing how our ‘allies’ are acting either with us or against us will help us to determine who our allies really are.
