Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

The Dutch government issued a ministerial decree on May 3 
that will allow it to confiscate assets of the former Iraqi 
regime.  The GONL is still in the process of notifying Dutch 
and Iraqi banks of this decree's provisions.  Once these 
notifications are complete, the Dutch will confiscate assets 
already frozen and transfer them to the Development Fund for 
Iraq.
