King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia told a senior White House official to consider surgically implanting homing devices under Guantanamo Bay detainees’ skin. That’s one of the many potentially embarrassing comments from diplomatic back rooms now being made public by WikiLeaks.
沙特阿拉伯國王阿卜杜拉告訴一白宮高級官員，去考慮手術植入導引裝置在關塔那摩灣的被拘留者的皮膚。那只是許多由後面的外交房間中的一個潛在地令人難堪的評論，現在被維基解密供諸於世。
During a March 2009 meeting with John Brennan, President Obama’s closest counterterrorism adviser, Abdullah proposed shooting electronic chips into the residual Guantanamo population, “allowing their movements to be tracked with Bluetooth.” Abdullah appears to have come up with the idea on the fly during their meeting — “I’ve just thought of something,” the cable quotes him saying — and considered forced subcutaneous chip implantation uncontroversial, since it’s already “done with horses and falcons.”
在一次2009年3月有奧巴馬總統最親密的反恐顧問約翰布倫南的會議上，阿卜杜拉提出的注射電子晶片入剩餘的關塔那摩人口，“讓他們的行動被藍牙跟踪。”於他們的會議 中阿卜杜拉似乎已經得出這個在門簾上的主意- “我剛剛想及一些東西，”通訊社引述他的說法 - 並認為強迫皮下晶片植入並不爭議性，因為它已經在“馬匹和獵鷹做過。”
Brennan appears to have gingerly waved him off: “[H]orses don’t have good lawyers,” he replied, “but agreed that keeping track of detainees was an extremely important issue that he would review with appropriate officials when he returned to the United States.”
布倫南似乎已經小心翼翼地揮走他：“[H]馬兒並沒有好的律師，”他回答，“但同意追踪被拘留者是一項極為重要的議題，當他返回美國時，他會與合適的有關官員檢討。“
That’s a particularly bizarre proposal revealed inside the third large trove of U.S. secrets the radical anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks has published in the last six months. This current one — reported on Sunday by the New York Times, Der Spiegel, and the Guardian — centers around more than 250,000 U.S. diplomatic communications, earning the dump a furious condemnation from the State Department and the White House. Our sister blog Threat Level first reported in June that WikiLeaks got ahold of the cables, and reports today on the U.S. information-sharing initiative that made the leak possible.
那是一特別奇怪的建議，揭露於美國機密的第三大寶庫內，激進的反秘密組織維基解密已在 過去的六個月發表。現在這個 - 紐約時報、明鏡、與衛報週日的報導 - 集中在超過 25萬份美國外交溝通，贏得美國國務院和白宮一憤怒的譴責。我們的姊妹博客威脅級別在六月首先報導，維基解密抓緊通訊社，並今天報導美國的信息交流倡議，那使洩漏變得可能。
Perhaps the most worrisome news to come out the diplo doc dump is that North Korea secretly gave Iran 19 powerful missiles with a range of 2,000 miles. The missiles, known as the BM-25, are modified from Russian R-27s, which were submarine-based missiles carrying nuclear weapons. “If fired from Iran,” the New York Times notes, a missile with that range could “let its warheads reach targets as far away as Western Europe, including Berlin.” The BM-25, unveiled in a North Korean military parade last month, may be North Korea’s longest-range missile yet. Ares’ David A. Fulgham observed that its design “is showing second-stage and nose-cone design characteristics associated with Iran’s Shahab 3 missile,” indicating growing missile ties between the two rogue states.
也許出自外交文件垃圾場最令人擔憂的消息是，朝鮮秘密地給伊朗19支射程為 2,000英里的強力導彈。被稱為BM - 25的導彈，從俄R - 27修改，是潛基導彈攜有核武器。 “如果從伊朗發射，”紐約時報指出，有那射程的導彈可“讓它的彈頭達到遠至西歐的目標，包括柏林。”上月在朝鮮閱兵儀式揭開的BM - 25，可能是朝鮮最遠射程的導彈。戰神'大衛A.富爾厄姆觀察，它的設計“正顯示出第二階段和鼻錐設計的特徵，與伊朗的流星-3型導彈有關”，表明越來越多的導彈關係在兩國無賴國家。
No wonder why European leaders are suddenly so keen on missile defense. And no wonder why so many of the leaders of the Arab Middle East are increasingly freaked out by Iran’s growing conventional arsenal — and nuclear program.
難怪歐洲領導人突然如此熱衷於導彈防禦系統，也難怪為什麼這麼多中東阿拉伯的領導人，越來越被伊朗日益增加的常規武器庫- 和核計劃 - 嚇壞 。
Bahrain’s King Hamad argued last November “for taking action to terminate [Iran's] nuclear program, by whatever means necessary,” one cable reads. Sounding like George W. Bush, Hamad told General David Petraeus, “The danger of letting it go on is greater than the danger of stopping it.” In the same meeting with Brennan, Abdullah said he declined an invitation to visit Iran from its foreign minister, saying instead, “All I want is for you to spare us your evil.”
A crown prince of the United Arab Emirates is said to be “somewhat incredulous” of U.S. claims that Iran may not be aiding Yemeni rebels, and laments that “our focus on Al Qaeda has caused us to lose sight of the bigger picture of Iranian adventurism.” Pakistani journalist Mosharraf Zaidi tweets, “Arab leaders are like high school bitches.”
Ronald Neumann, who served as U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan from 2005 to 2007, tells Danger Room he fears the impact of forced candor on U.S. foreign relations. “A man might say things to his wife about his mother-in-law that he would be horrified to hear her repeat to her mother and the doing of which might even put great strain on his marriage,” Neumann says. “That is what a lot of classification is about. I believe it serves the public. There is always an argument for publicizing malfeasance. I do not believe there is one for making more difficult just getting on with the nation’s diplomatic business.”
The White House responded to the latest WikiLeaks trove with furious denouncement. “[S]uch disclosures put at risk our diplomats, intelligence professionals, and people around the world who come to the United States for assistance in promoting democracy and open government,” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs emailed reporters on Sunday. “These documents also may include named individuals who in many cases live and work under oppressive regimes and who are trying to create more open and free societies.” Interestingly, WikiLeaks tweeted Sunday that it’s under a “mass distributed denial of service attack.”
We’re still poring through the revelations from the WikiLeaks trove. If you see something you think is significant, point us to it in comments, e-mail us, or tweet @DangerRoom.
