Agreed. The quote which jumped out at me:
http://armchairgeneralist.typepad.co...+Generalist%29The fact is, governments deal with the United States because it's in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us, and not because they believe we can keep secrets.
What I find most surprising and shocking from the whole incident is that any diplomatic service could be so creative, expressive and entertaining in their reporting. Using metaphors like "Robin to Batman" in official reporting is exactly what I never would have expected.
