Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • 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.

REF: KABUL 5547 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) After a week of Hajj flight operations, the GoA 
has indicated that currently-leased aircraft are meeting 
the demands of Afghanistan's Hajj and can be expected to 
function properly through the first phase, i.e., getting 
Hajjis to Jeddah over the next three weeks.  While some 
substantial issues remain (particularly the SAG's ability 
to issue adequate numbers of visas in time to fill the 
Afghan flights), these are being addressed separately. 
Embassy appreciates the support from the Department, NATO, 
and NATO capitals and confirms that all can stand down from 
efforts to obtain standby airlift support for the Afghans 
(pursuant to reftel instruction from the Department).
