Le Monde and Wikileaks
The Wikileaks hits just keep on coming. Disclosures from US diplomatic messages posted on the website reveal the behind-the-scenes conduct of international diplomacy. The latest disclosures suggest tension between China and North Korea. Other newly released cables concern the Obama administration’s effort to persuade countries to accept terrorism suspects from Guantanamo Bay. The documents were leaked to several major newspapers, including Le Monde. Marco Werman talks with Sylvie Kauffman, the Editor-in-Chief of the French paper.
