Carol Rodley, the US ambassador to Cambodia, met with Khieu Kanharith, the government spokesman and minister of Information, to discuss the guarantee that the relationship between the US and Cambodia will not be disrupted by the bitter Wikileaks affair. Wikileaks published several tens of thousands pages of diplomatic cables, most of which are US secret documents regarding foreign affairs involving politics, US government actions in the Afghanistan war, and discussions held between US leaders with its friendly governments.

Tens of thousands of pages of military secrets from the US Defense Department, diplomatic secrets showing the communication between US diplomats and the US State Department popped up on the Wikileaks website during the past week. Secret documents on the Afghanistan war are also part of the Wikileaks publication.


In the past few days, a number of local newspapers reported that the revelation of secret US documents by Wikileaks will also include a number of reports issued by the US embassy in Cambodia. Following this revelation, a meeting was set up between Carol Rodley and Khieu Kanharith in the morning of 03 December 2010. Discussions between the two high-ranking officials focused on the guarantee of the maintenance of good relationship between the US and Cambodia in front of the Wikileaks’ threat to reveal secret documents.

Khieu Kanharith told RFI that the US government considers the revelation of its secret documents as a crime and the US is preparing a legal court case for this affair. According to Khieu Kanharith, Carol Rodley told him that the US is always prepared to work with [Cambodian] government officials in the event Wikileaks publish secret documents involving Cambodia. Khieu Kanharith said that he welcomes the US’ preparation in view of the Wikileaks revelations that could strain the relationship between Washington and Phnom Penh.

Recent leak of US diplomatic cables on Wikileaks is just a conspiracy of the Obama administration only so as to indirectly attack and make instability in a number of nations including ah Hun Xen regime.

Rodley should come clean and tell what the US has said about all Cambodian politicians. Just preparing the Khmer government for the leak is not enough. They all need to open up.
