Now there's a shocker...question is, was it CIA, hackers funded by CIA or just some 4channers looking for some lols.

Either which way, the documents themselves will be good for a chuckle, I look forward to seeing how Obama thought Brown was, probably about the same as the rest of us.

Christmas TV special program coming. It promises to become more entertaining than the x-th repetition of The Treasure Island and Moby Dick.

Docs available on The Guardian, New York Times, & Der Spiegel wobblesites.

Heres one already: "Obama: What he really thought of Brown"

I do believe it has been released:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11858895

Some highlights:

Corruption within the Afghan government, with concerns heightened when a senior official was found to be carrying more than $50m in cash on a foreign trip
Bargaining to empty the Guantanamo Bay prison camp - including Slovenian diplomats being told to take in a freed prisoner if they wanted to secure a meeting with President Barack Obama
The extraordinarily close relationship between Russian PM Vladimir Putin and his Italian counterpart Silvio Berlusconi
Alleged links between the Russian government and organised crime
American and South Korean officials' discussions about the prospects for a unified Korea should North Korea collapse as a viable state
Sharply critical accounts of UK military operations in Afghanistan

EDIT: Turns out they've released parts of it to the Press to get around the DDOS attack.

I'm more interested in the reciprocal of that question.

On a side note, they are probably just steamy emails between Brown and Steed.

Moby Dick is a Christmas TV special in Germany? That explains a lot!

Probably the same kind of "DDoS attack" that happened to Ubi a few weekends in a row when AC2 was released: The servers are just overloaded by all the legitimate users. They have after all advertised this release well beforehand.

If this information is so important to keep secret why would the CIA or any government US agency have this hacked and released? It wouldn't serve there best interest. Unless this information is a distraction to something more sinister at work or to hide.
