If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

1.(U) On February 1, the U.S.-funded, human rights-oriented police training program resumed, following its suspension in July 2008 pending bilateral negotiations related to the change in funding from ESF to INCLE (reftels). The February 1-3 three-day course focused on "Data-based Decision Making" to train officers to make decisions based on relevant information, as opposed to instinct. The course also emphasized the importance of engagement with local communities to gain their trust, with the goal of better serving the public and gathering crime data more effectively. The next training course is planned for March 23-25, and will focus on conforming to international policing standards. Subsequent courses are planned for May on interview and interrogation skills, July on appropriate use of force, and September on community policing.

2.(SBU) At the start of the course February 1, Interior Ministry State Security General Amr Al-Asr addressed the 24 assembled police officers, stressing the training's importance and encouraging the officers to interact with the program instructors. General Amr thanked the Embassy and the State Department, and underlined to the officers the importance of the U.S.-Egyptian strategic relationship. Officers participating in the training course are majors and lieutenant colonels, and are from the Interior Ministry (MOI) State Security Investigative Service, MOI public security, MOI anti-narcotics department, and MOI traffic department. The officers are stationed in Cairo and Alexandria, as well as a range of cities in the Delta and Upper Egypt. SCOBEY
