Will the next Wikileaks expose India's corrupt?

With Wikileaks set to disseminate another tranche of classified Pentagon [ Images ] documents, B Raman peers into the crystal bowl to see what this installment of the releases might contain

Wikileaks announced on Twitter, that it will be shortly releasing its third instalment of classified US documents.


The first instalment of 77,000 documents related to the American military campaign in Afghanistan. The second instalment of 400,000 documents related to the American military presence Iraq. According to the Twitter message, its third instalment will contain a much larger number of documents.

While Wikileaks did not say in its message what the third instalment of their release would cover. However, a Reuters despatch from Washington DC said that classified US diplomatic cables reporting corruption allegations against foreign governments and leaders are expected to feature in the official documents that Wikileaks plans to release. It added:"Three sources familiar with the US State Department cables held by Wikileaks say the corruption allegations in them are major enough to cause serious embarrassment for foreign governments and politicians named in them. They said the release was expected next week, but it could come earlier. The detailed, candid reports by US diplomats also may create foreign policy complications for the administration of US President Barack Obama [ Images ], the sources said. Among the countries whose politicians feature in the reports are Russia [ Images ], Afghanistan and former Soviet republics in Central Asia. But other reports also detail potentially embarrassing allegations reported to Washington from US diplomats in other regions, including East Asia and Europe.
