If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

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.

1. (SBU) In a November 19 telcon with poloff, Walaa Soliman 
(wife of prisoner Nabil Soliman) reported that she was 
allowed to visit her husband at Torah Prison on November 18. 
Walaa noted that she gave food to her husband, but he did not 
specify whether he would continue his hunger strike or not. 
She said that her husband hopes to be moved to another 
prison; poloff recommended that he raise his request with 
prison officials.  Walaa plans to visit Soliman again on 
November 25.  Poloff will continue to monitor Soliman's 
welfare and treatment, through visits and communications with 
his family.
