The world is in a state of frenzy about the Wikileaks. Zimbabwe radio has been leading with stories about how the former US Ambassador Chris Dell viewed the opposition as ‘inept‘, while politely ignoring the first few paragraphs he wrote about our Dear Leader being a ‘bully’.

Aside for State media: Wikileaks is NOT a “US whistleblower website”. Get a clue.

Just thought I’d enter the debate by highlighting the comments of Robert Gates, the American Secretary (that’s Minister to you) of Defence. He’s also a former head of their notorious spy agency, the CIA.

“Let me just offer some perspective as somebody who’s been at this a long time. Every other government in the world knows the United States government leaks like a sieve, and it has for a long time.  …

“Now, I’ve heard the impact of these releases on our foreign policy described as a meltdown, as a game-changer, and so on. I think those descriptions are fairly significantly overwrought. The fact is, governments deal with the United States because it’s in their interest, not because they like us, not because they trust us, and not because they believe we can keep secrets. Many governments — some governments — deal with us because they fear us, some because they respect us, most because they need us. We are still essentially, as has been said before, the indispensable nation.

“So other nations will continue to deal with us. They will continue to work with us. We will continue to share sensitive information with one another.

“Is this embarrassing? Yes. Is it awkward? Yes. Consequences for U.S. foreign policy? I think fairly modest.’’

There you have it. And the next American politician (yes, you, Sarah Palin) who calls Julian Assange “treasonous” should learn the definition of treason.

He’s Australian, you dumb bitch.

And does anyone else find it a little … interesting … that Interpol issues a (generally ineffectual) Red Notice two days after the largest document leak in history? I don’t … I see the world for what it is.

Changing.

We know you’re the Herald Sports Editor, but please Robson, stick to the football we all know you love so well.

Writing awkward, over-elaborate sentences like this makes us wonder if you know what you’re talking about, brother.

But then, to dismiss this tournament as another low-key event on the pregnant calendar of the world’s ultimate game of gentlemen and women, would not only be wrong but a myopic view divorced from the realities on the ground that should be key in guiding opinions.

To try and pretend that all has been well in Zimbabwe Cricket that the arrival of representative teams from India and Sri Lanka should not be cause for celebrations — especially on the home front — would be stretching the imagination too far.

Yes, Tendulkar — who gave the cricketing world a reason to smile with that incredible knock that destroyed Charles Coventry’s highest ODI score by an individual in the world — is not here and that matters for those who enjoy his class and who look to him to provide another knock for the archives.

Wow, there IS such a thing as too much English, Robson.

It reads like a ZJC “composition”. You go boy!

Thank gawd I found Indexed.

Professional athlete caught inserting breeding tentacles into inappropriate mating partners!

Just heard the “reboot” of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s 1985 classic hit, We Are The World.

I feel like ripping off my ears and flushing them down the toilet, and if I never hear another note of music I’ll be happy.

Holy crap it sucks, it really sucks. The original is the highest-selling single in history, so you just KNEW someone was gonna have at it someday.

I just didn’t expect them to get people like LITTLE FUCKING WAYNE to help ruin it.

This is bad. I need therapy. I need help. I need Biggie Smalls.
