But I don't see anything in the documents that showed a government working against its own people. The content of the documents is mostly matter-of-fact (or even sarcastic) analysis of other countries. In a few cases it reveled intelligence sources, for example Lebanese politicians politicians working against the destructive foreign influence in their country - more controversially, I think, there was a US "spy" in the German government. I'm not German, so I have no problem with this. In other cases, for example in South Sudan, it shows the US government working, perhaps clandestinely, to uphold justice and help the people avoid ethnic cleansing.
