Qatar worst in the region

Mixed records against terrorism: Saudi donors remain the chief financiers of Sunni militant groups like Al Qaeda, and the tiny Persian Gulf state of Qatar, a generous host to the American military for years, was the “worst in the region” in counterterrorism efforts, according to a State Department cable last December. Qatar’s security service was “hesitant to act against known terrorists out of concern for appearing to be aligned with the U.S. and provoking reprisals,” the cable said.

Obviously it's true. But, the truth is simple and seldom ever seen. And if it doesn't fit into one's perception, it's simply fabricated. The leaking is actually useless. Even if it's true. What people don't want to know is always their choice. I have long stopped to believe anything politicians publish. It's politics, it's lies. Whatelse is politics other than fooling everybody in order to retain one's own power?

Well this wikileak is to big to be all true...strangely most of the news coming on the newspaper are against mideast...really strange, knowing also how these newspapers such as NYTimes are supporting Israel, i can easily understand from which side they stand with...

I'm sorry but i'm not stupid and not falling in the kind of trap...terrosist for the USA in the recent past years are those who are not aligned with the so called super power policies....who is the terrorist when u see who entered wars and killed millions of people?
