Wikileaks’ Latest Release

By all measures, this is a spectacular story with dramatic worldwide implications. Der Spiegl wrote that this is “nothing short of a political meltdown for US foreign policy”. This is why you shouldn’t be fooled by the fact that some Lebanese and Arab newspapers decided to completely ignore it.

Just About Everyone I know Is Sharing This Video

Role reversal. Lebanese people are portrayed as serving Sri Lanki and Filipino patrons and subject to the daily humiliation that comes with the job. A brilliant sketch from the people at Shankaboot. I hope this will be more than something we have a quick laugh at and ignore.
