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.

"And Brazil Abstains [from voting at IAEA on censuring Iran]" 
 
Editorial in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (11-28) states:  "Four days 
after Iran's leader, Mahmud Ahmadinejad, departed Brazil, Brazil's 
Foreign Ministry had the first opportunity to apply the principles 
of its foreign policy enunciated by President Lula before his 
Iranian counterpart.  The result was frustrating....On Monday, 
before Ahmadinejad, President Lula reiterated his repudiation of 
atomic weapons, as inscribed in Brazil's Constitution.  He defended 
the use of nuclear energy for peaceful ends, guided by 
international treaties.  Apparently those were words thrown into 
the wind -- while Iran deviates from this route, Brazil's Foreign 
Ministry just omits it."
