I would like to point out a couple things from your link,

My bold:

15, 652 secret
101,748 confidential
133,887 unclassified

So I figurei it's really only 117,400 that aren't a snooze for most folk.

Run-of-the-mill State Dept. publications and correspondence--not exactly hot stuff, except for freaks like me into geopolitics and the new world order (yeah, there is one conspiracy theorists, unfortunate for y'all it's just that it's not the USSR vs. the US, nothing more.)

But stamp it confidential or secret and you've got a decent-size audience!

(For one example, I note how nobody seems to care about Lara Rozen's blogging since the Iraq war lost its cachet in the blogophere--when it was a hot and heavy political topic, she used to be referenced all the time.)

Then there's this

# Ankara, Turkey had most cables coming from it –7,918
# From Secretary of State office - 8,017

Wassup with Ankara being prolific? Probably it's not. Seems to me it points a finger at that office as to being helpful to wikileaks, hence a large proporiton of the dump's docs come from there.

Hey-o!
