I fail to see how the Wikileaks summary is misleading. Contrary to your statement, the word "export" occurs multiple times and often outside "a quoted label".

I fail to see how the Wikileaks summary is misleading.
Contrary to your statement, the word "export" occurs multiple times and often outside "a quoted label". The start of the answer to the primary question posed by the document is:
"Contrary to common belief, the American export of terrorism or terrorists is not a recent phenomenon..."
The document itself plainly states that there is an American export of terrorism. Indeed, the entirety of the document is about the implications of knowledge of the fact that some terrorists do come from America and affect other parts of the world: exported.
Perhaps the narrative you're tracking in is the one where Wikileaks is bad, and therefore you've decided to interpret their summary as if they claimed the U.S. had a policy of exporting terrorism. Clearly the Wikileaks summary made no such claim, and instead is a fairly accurate summary of the leaked document itself.
- tptacek 16y agoYou just quoted Wikileaks own summary of the document, and not the document itself. I rest my case.
- MichaelSalib 16y agoDid you even bother to open the document? Your assertions here are simply wrong.
- OpieCunningham 16y agoI quoted directly from the document. You should go ahead and read it.
