"Even the least attentive observer cannot fail to be shocked by the maneuvers to shut down three investigations by the High Court that affected the United States, or by the efforts to force Spanish companies and banks to cease trading with Iran, even though they were acting within the boundaries of international law." lol what are they believing there at el pais ? by alcide Jan 2

"after three weeks of revelations, it is now abundantly clear that the US Embassy in Madrid pressured, conspired, and did everything in its power to achieve goals that no ambassador would ever have dared suggest in public, much less insist upon." by alcide Jan 2

"It is also important to establish that at no time did Assange ask for money in return for providing access to the leaked documents, nor would EL PAÍS have agreed to such terms." by alcide Jan 2

Editor's note: publishing the cables | World news

The articles published today and over coming weeks are drawn from US state department cables which were sent earlier this year to WikiLeaks , an organisation devoted to exposing secrets of all kinds. The Guardian is one of five publications around the world which has had prior access to the material – around 250,000 cables in all – on condition that we observed common deadlines over the timings of release.
WikiLeaks has been fighting to stay online since releasing a cache of sensitive diplomatic cables to five international media organisations.
