One Week of Wikileaks

One Week of Wikileaks is exactly what it sounds like: a week of leaked State Department cables, covering all U.S. diplomatic communication from February 21 through February 27, 2010. The dates are only notable in that they are the most recent days covered by the Wikileaks Cablegate archive. The content is unedited, raw, oftentimes boring, sometimes fascinating. It is transparency without curation.
