this is another example of the damage wiki leak can cause.
it can set back important developments.

the following pic details a conversation between a US representative and Israeli PM benjamin Netanyau.
in it, Netanyau reveals that Israel and Iraq have considerable trade relations between them, but that its kept hushed up and out of public knowledge.
Iraq's official policy (even after Saddams fall) is that it refuses to recognize Israel or to have any relations with it.
anyone who knows anything about middle eastern politics and specifically Israel's relationship with Iraq will understand the significance of this fact, the positiveness of this development, and the reason why its kept hushed up.

Spoiler for wikileak doc.:


you can bet your ass that whatever trade relations exist today, will be gone before the year is out.
and thats a big step backwards for peace.
