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.

Title - Who is afraid of Hillary? 
 
Article in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (12-05) by former Brazilian 
President Jose Sarney says: "... to be a leader demands the 
capability to coordinate rather than impose his will.  These 
considerations are being taken into account as is reflected by 
Barack Obama's decision to constitute a "dream team" without being 
afraid of sharing responsibilities with major and experienced 
figures.  Obama shows that he has not only the charisma but the 
courage and the certainty of his structure without fear of leading 
leaders...  If anyone is afraid of the strong personality of Hillary 
Clinton, it doesn't seem to be Barack Obama."
