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.

REF: STATE 10786 
 
ΒΆ1. (SBU) With both the Director and the Deputy Director of 
the MFA's Middle East Bureau away, Pol/Econ Chief delivered 
reftel demarche to Beata Urbanova, Desk Officer for Syria and 
Lebanon, on February 7. Urbanova underscored strong GOS 
support for the Siniora government, but was unable during the 
meeting to provide substantive responses to the specific 
points raised in the demarche.  Urbanova did comment, 
however, that she thought it would be difficult to gain 
approval for a financial pledge for the Special Tribunal by 
February 14. Post will follow up with more senior officials 
(and with Ministry of Defense) during the week of February 11 
and recommends that the issue be raised with Foreign Minister 
Kubis during his upcoming meeting with the Deputy Secretary.
