- y0ghur7_xxx 16y agocare to explain?
- aptimpropriety 16y agoAs the NYT explained it - I believe the classifications organize the cables into degrees of secrecy. 'Top secret' is the highest secrecy in the US Gov't, so I would imagine 'secret' is therefore more secret than 'classified'. 'Noforn' apparently means 'this should not be seen by foreign [individuals'.
- tbrownaw 16y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classified_information_in_the_U... The classification levels are "Top Secret", "Secret", and "Confidential". "Classified" just means that it's been assigned to one of those levels.
