When the first three leaders named are the top 3 enemies/adversaries of the US/Britain - Putin, Xi and Assad - my own little conspiracy canary started chirping.
And the Icelandic PM? The one who really annoyed Britain by defaulting on their debts?
Makes me wonder who orchestrated the leak.

I doubt it was anyone related to David Cameron if that is what you are thinking. ;)

- akhatri_aus 11y agoThe USG have wanted tax reform for ages now. There's also no American mentioned (yet) which is very conspiracy-ey.
- fweespee_ch 11y agoThey are largely US based and want to verify rather than risk being sued for livel. Give it a month.
- corin_ 11y agoThe information about Cameron's father pretty much came out already 4 years ago (already after his father was dead), so not like this personal link hurts Cameron a lot more with the current list of names.

- Ankaios 11y agoWhen the first three leaders named are the top 3 enemies/adversaries of the US/Britain - Putin, Xi and Assad - my own little conspiracy canary started chirping. Is the leak because they are adversaries, or are they adversaries (at least in part) because they are the sorts of people who would participate in the leaked behavior?

- Grue3 11y agoYet for some reason you never question Wikileaks leaks despite the fact that they never target Russia or China.
- varjag 11y agoKim of North Korea or late Chavez aren't mentioned either. Is that because they are friends of the US/Britain?
