Gut die Hälfte der jetzt bekannt gewordenen Botschaftskabel unterliegt keiner Geheimhaltungsstufe, etwas weniger, 40,5 Prozent, sind als "vertraulich" eingeordnet. Sechs Prozent der Dokumente, 15.652 Depeschen, tragen den Vermerk "geheim", 4330 davon sind so brisant, dass sie als "Noforn" ausgewiesen sind, also Ausländern nicht zugänglich gemacht werden dürfen.

Just over half of the announced would Embassy cable is not subject to classification, a little less, 40.5 percent are classified as "confidential". Six percent of the documents, 15 652 dispatches bear the words "secret", of which 4330 are so explosive that they are designated as "Noforn", that foreigners should not be made available.

most of the stuff is gossip (like which wife of which politician had too many plastic surgeries) - so stop whining
but it shows nicely for what reasons the US sends ambassadors - to collect gossip. and it also shows nicely what the US government thinks about others. and btw - the docs are mostly from the Bush times.
