I am not condoning the Wikileaks actions, but I have to admit there are some things we wouldn't have known without them. On the whole I think we have learned a lot about this administrations intriques because of them. But if your only source of news is MSM you may never learn the most of it. Because I read
Lucianne.com daily I found this from
Commentary magazine.
Honduras, Obama, and Occam’s Razorby

In the Wall Street Journal yesterday,
Mary Anastasia O’Grady wrote that
cables released by WikiLeaks show that the administration knew Honduran President Manuel Zelaya had threatened Honduran democracy — but supported him in order to offer President Obama a “bonding opportunity” with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and a chance to ingratiate himself with Latin America’s hard left.
I have a simpler explanation — not inconsistent with O’Grady’s analysis but closer to the common theme in Obama’s foreign policy in other areas. The day after Zelaya was removed, Obama pronounced it a “coup.” That snap judgment remained American policy even as more and more facts contradicting Obama’s description emerged.
