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.

REF: STATE 97395 
 
ΒΆ1. (U) Norwegian MFA Security Policy and Afghan experts agree 
that ISAF should have a greater role in counter narcotics. 
As part of a broader discussion on Afghan issues the 
Norwegians expressed support for greater ISAF involvement in 
counter narcotics before poloff made demarche points.  Norway 
has remained silent in NATO but will consider speaking up to 
urge greater ISAF counter narcotics involvement.  We have 
requested senior level meetings with the head of the MFA 
Security Policy Section to re-emphasize the importance of the 
SACEUR initiative.
