Reply #14: Admittedly, I haven't read every one either

Only the few concerning Australia and pertinent world events. The rest, I get a précis from the Guardian.

Regarding bank leaks. I believe that ultimately there will be a leak or two that proves collusion between a state and a bank. Whether it be blatant protection or just turning a blind eye to unhealthy practices. If it were only the banks, we could all just vote with out feet; they are only companies. It is the intertwined policies, practices and dependencies between banks and politicians that make me nervous.

I agree that there was little that a student of history, international relations and politics could not have gleaned from the cables released so far. The significance is that the PROCESS is now being made transparent to the people on the street. It's given them cause to think about matters that never entered their heads previously.
