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.

FOR INL/RM (TIM BARRY, TIM HENDERSON) 
 
E.O. 12958: N/A 
TAGS: SNAR AFIN AMGT
SUBJECT: QUARTERS LEASE FOR POLICE 
 
1. NAS requests authorization to sign a two-year lease on behalf of 
ICE for quarters to house DGI (Direccion General de Inteligencia), 
an anti-narcotics police intelligence unit, conducts operations on 
money laundering, trafficking in persons, human smuggling and 
transnational crimes of the Ecuadorian National Police. The 
property is a 340-sq meter residencial house located at Calle 
Segunda N44-144 y Ave. del Parque, Casa #4, Colinas del Bosque in 
Quito, Ecuador.  The cost is USD 780.00 per month and the lease 
term would be for two years.  This lease will be a new lease for 
the DGI Unit beginning on October, 2009 to September 30, 2011. 
 
 
 
2. Justification:  Due to the nature of its activities, this police 
unit requires an anonymous and secure location separate from 
regular police facilities, which will permit operation of 
controlled sensitive operations.  The National Police do not have a 
suitable facility available for the DGI.
