WikiLeaks should make us wise up as ‘free world’ goes on offensive

THE WikiLeaks highlights make great reading, though strangely enough most of the information is no surprise to the public and no doubt to countries diplomatic services.

That Berlusconi’s relationship with Putin may have a mutual business interest — well we all thought that.

That Sarkozy is hyperactive and impulsive; that Britain wants to be the US’s special friend; that Merkel’s finance minister is an angry old man; that Prince Andrew is an arrogant twit; that the US wants Europe to clean up after its Iraq debacle, replacing its soldiers in Afghanistan and taking Guantanamo prisoners.
