Viewing cable 09BEIRUT1199, 2009 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

1. (SBU) Poloff delivered reftel demarche and report to MFA 
Americas Desk Officer Reina Charbel on October 26.  Charbel 
advised that the report would be shared with relevant GOL 
offices and said that the GOL remains committed to the 
principles of religious freedom and tolerance.

private interlocutors.
