US diplomats ‘obtained’ a confidential letter on Iraq policy from the EU’s two top foreign policy chiefs to the President of the Council of Ministers, a leaked US embassy cable reveals. The letter, written by Javier Solana and Chris Patten, described highly-sensitive details of a controversial EU decision to participate in the rebuilding of Iraq. American officials spoke of ‘obtaining’ the letter 24 hours after it had been sent to Brian Cowen, then President of the Council of Ministers, the EU’s highest governmental body. The apparent leaking of the letter, discovered in a Belfast Telegraph assessment of a fresh tranche of the WikiLeaks cables, will raise questions about US snooping on friendly powers including the nations of the European Union. The cable, originating with from the American embassy in Brussels and with the identification number 17718, quotes extensively from the confidential letter.
