Many people around us who think the world is better with than without Wikileaks. Just listen to the people interviewed by television or newspapers, talk with our colleagues or our loved ones, this opinion is widely shared. And it is true that the image of a new kind of James Bond alone against all, challenging governments and secret services of all countries, now wanted by all the world's police (Interpol just issued a warrant stop ), and taking advantage of the Internet to break the great secrets of state, has any of captivating. However, now that we are warned of possible "mental implants" mentioned Pino Cabras, ie the "hidden messages" that could convey the "September 11 of diplomacy and the Internet " should be ; our attention to the question of who truly benefits from these "revelations". That is what attaches to the journalist Hisham Hamza in this article researched and well documented published yesterday oumma.com .
Who benefits revelations Wikileaks?
International Psychodrama. Sunday, the Wikileaks site began to reveal hundreds of thousands of diplomatic relations, most classified as confidential. In Focus: the United States but also and above all, Iran, Turkey and Pakistan. Back disclosure unanimously criticized by leaders of government worldwide, with the exception of one who has welcomed today: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
gossip about famous people: this is clear from the initial media coverage about 250,000 diplomatic memos being published by Wikileaks site and its spokesman, Julian Assange already interviewed previously by Ummah. No state secret is revealed. Sarkozy in "naked emperor, authoritative and capable," Angela Merkel dubbed "Teflon" Berlusconi amateur "wild parties", Gaddafi and his "Ukrainian nurse, blonde and voluptuous" and Putin saw as a "dominant male" geopolitics addressed from people. More interesting are the revelations, worthy of a spy thriller, the propensity of U.S. diplomats to gather any information (including DNA) on individuals identified as relevant by the State Department . Similarly, an astonishing rumor, once viewed with disdain by the zealots in Washington, is now confirmed : The United States has proposed to make a "barter" between prisoners at Guantanamo and diplomatic benefits of all kinds to various countries such as Belgium and the island republic of Kiribati. Others are more anecdotal information such as that relating to the Vice-President of Afghanistan, Ahmad Zia Massoud, carrying 52 million dollars in cash in the UAE. Another open secret is also confirmed: the preponderance of notables in the Saudi financing of Al Qaeda. More damaging for the United States is the disclosure of a memo indicating the Americans intimidation against Germany not to sue the CIA, responsible for the kidnapping in Afghanistan of a German citizen mistaken for a terrorist.
Embarrassment also affects the Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Bahrain turn out to be vindictive supporters of a U.S. attack against Iran. Another source of embarrassment, the Yemeni president's position, expressed in January, to the victims of U.S. bombing in his own country: not only does not condemn them but it has explicitly committed to conceal the responsibility American himself by claiming the attacks against Islamist groups. Worried about arms trafficking and drugs, Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, said in passing, to the attention of U.S. General David Petraeus, worry more than whiskey does arrive, "provided it is good .
France, political dwarf
What about France? Confirming what we already knew: hostility diplomats from the Elysee , the first head, Jean-David Levitte, the place of Iran State "fascist" or Venezuela, led by this "crazy" of Hugo Chavez. More remarkable is the revelation concerning the former defense minister, Herve Morin : in an interview conducted last February with his U.S. counterpart, the chairman of the New Center has shown some resistance to U.S. wishes, criticizing the desirability of a new missile defense system under the aegis of NATO or the distancing of Russia in transactions of military equipment. Incidentally, the memo reveals an amazing thing: the disavowal of the minister by his own subordinates who informed the Americans that his "opinion" only reflected his own. It is also discussed in this confidential report sent secret special forces tried to free French journalists from France 3 detained in Afghanistan or the commitment of U.S. Secretary of Defense not to embarrass the French, on the question delicate military reinforcement, during the campaign for regional elections.
To the delight of Tel Aviv
"These [revelations] do not at all Israel, maybe even do the opposite, "acknowledged Giora Eiland, retired Israeli general and former advisor to Ariel Sharon. These documents, he says, "show that Arab countries like Saudi Arabia are focusing more on Iran than Israeli-Palestinian conflict, for example." Prime Minister is even more enthusiastic: "For the first time in history, there is a consensus that Iran is a threat." Lyrical, Benjamin Netanyahu wants to appear as a pacifist: "If the disclosure brings leaders in the region to speak out against Tehran as the revelations have contributed to peace in the world, "says it. Pray not to smile, the documents revealed no Wikileaks, describing a growing nuclear threat from Iran, Turkey's links with Al Qaeda in Iraq, Pakistan and the danger of discord within the Arab League do delights of Tel Aviv who work, as everyone knows, for "peace in the world." Gideon Levy, Haaretz columnist, did not make a mistake: the end of October, in an editorial satirical, it was welcomed, on behalf Israel, Wikileaks for showing the world that the atrocities of war committed by the Americans were far more serious than those made in 2009 by the Israeli army in Gaza. Thence to suspect that Wikileaks is a clever psychological operations outsourced by the secret services, including Israeli , is an assumption, already popular on the Internet that does anything substantial to date of support. One thing is obvious: in 2010, revelations of the site further embarrassed the United States, its allies Middle East and Iran that have embarrassed other regional powers like China, India and Israel.
Obviously, among the released documents, some may titillate some traditional allies in Tel Aviv so too does it one for Morocco. Having described President Gaddafi of "emotional" and deplored the Islamist danger in southern Algeria, Meir Dagan, former Mossad director (who has just leave office after eight years of loyal service all types) had reported in 2007 to U.S. diplomats that Morocco, faced with terrorism, was doing pretty well, "despite his king." The implication in his eyes, Mohammed VI has no interest in governing the country. Difficult, however, to design, to date, an indignant reaction from Rabat to the place of Tel Aviv for about unfriendly.
Another example of an embarrassment all relative: the revelation of a concern Israeli authorities against Iran before the accession to power of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. In March 2005, few months before the election of Mayor of Tehran to the presidency, Ariel Sharon already feared the alleged nuclear threat that Iran would in the medium term. In public opinion, the Iranian danger is particularly associated with provocative temperament of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The memo from 2005 suggests however that Iran, albeit under the direction of the moderate Mohammad Kathama was already seen as the biggest threat after the timely disposition of that posed by Iraq.
The show must go on
public satisfaction of a Benjamin Netanyahu reveals the identity of the camp cheered by the latest revelations of Wikileaks: not any "American-Zionist axis" but more precisely the fringe of hard American neoconservatives, Israeli and European propagate from fifteen years, the fantasy of an "Islamo-risk nuclear incarnated by Pakistan and Iran and the need, as a corollary, to ensure the security of Israel by all means necessary. The lies and deceit necessary, as illustrated by the myth, still unpunished, weapons of destruction destruction in Iraq.
And the fool's game continues. Sunday, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs described the disclosure made by Wikileaks of "diplomatic September 11." Few remember, but in the aftermath of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon, one Benjamin Netanyahu had publicly welcomed the tragedy, saying it was "a good thing for Israel." Nine years later, the same man who admitted have anticipated the revelations of Wikileaks , always knows how to exploit the positive events of his era. Provided they are a mystery as to the true identity of their sponsors.
