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.

SUBJECT: ESTONIA'S REACTION TO NEW AFGHANISTAN 
COUNTERNARCOTICS STRATEGY 
 
REF: A) STATE 110089 
 
(SBU) On August 8, we delivered reftel points to Arti 
Hilpus, MFA Director for Security and Arms Control 
Policy, on the rollout of the new Afghanistan counter- 
narcotics strategy.  On August 15, we met with Hilpus 
and provided an additional briefing.  Hilpus thanked us 
for the briefing and told us that the Government of 
Estonia (GOE) considers the new strategy timely and 
appropriate.  However, Hilpus cautioned us that "the 
question of possible aerial spraying of poppies should 
be approached with extreme caution," as Estonian troops 
are participating in a UK-led PRT in Helmand province, 
the epicenter of Afghanistan's poppy production.
