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.

OF RAPE AS AN INSTRUMENT OF STATE POLICY" 
 
REF: SECSTATE 135255 
 
1. (SBU) PolOff delivered reftel demarche to Oussama Khachab, 
Head of the Americas Desk at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 
 Khachab responded that the GOL believes condemning the use 
of rape as an instrument of state policy is a worthwhile 
subject to address and likely would not oppose the U.S.'s 
draft resolution. 
 
2.  (SBU)  Khachab added that the GOL is coordinating with 
its Arab partners before taking a final position.
