Why Do Our Diplomats Keep All the Good Secrets to Themselves?

There is so much gold still to be had in the WikiLeaks cables. Such as this, found today: "Embassy officers do not reach out to [Allen] Stanford because of the allegations of bribery and money laundering"—from May, 2006. Stanford, you'll recall, is allegedly the ringleader of the world's largest Ponzi scheme (largest, to be fair, only after a number of religions and several "personal training and development" forums). Stanford, by the way, is getting screened by a state shrink today, as his attorney claims Stanford is "too heavily medicated to assist in his own defense." Well, hmm, tough one, maybe… someone should cut back on his medication?
