As the NYT explained it - I believe the classifications organize the cables into degrees of secrecy. 'Top secret' is the highest secrecy in the US Gov't, so I would imagine 'secret' is therefore more secret than 'classified'. 'Noforn' apparently means 'this should not be seen by foreign [individuals'.

The classification levels are "Top Secret", "Secret", and "Confidential". "Classified" just means that it's been assigned to one of those levels.

This bugged me also. The title text doesn't match what the links actually are.
