What we know

Among scores of disclosures that are likely to cause uproar, the cables detail:

• Grave fears in Washington and London over the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme...

• Inappropriate remarks by Prince Andrew...

• Suspicions of corruption in the Afghan government...

• How the hacker attacks which forced Google to quit China in January were orchestrated by a senior member of the Politburo...

• Allegations that Russia and its intelligence agencies are using mafia bosses to carry out criminal operations...

• The extraordinarily close relationship between Vladimir Putin, the Russian prime minister, and Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister...

• Devastating criticism of the UK's military operations in Afghanistan by US commanders...
Sorry to interrupt, but have we not read all these stories in the Guardian Weekly?

Surely suspicions of corruption in Afghanistan has to be the non-revelation of the year.
