According to tweets from German-speaking Twitter users who snagged an embargoed copy of this week’s Der Spiegel, the cache of over 250,000 confidential diplomatic cables may be a bit of a let-down. At least from the German point of view there are no earth-shattering revelations, just a lot of candid talk about German leaders. Angela Merkel is praised as “teflon,” while German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle is repeatedly bashed. There is talk of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s “wild parties,” (duh) and Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is likened to Hitler. The cables also show Obama has “no emotional relationship with Europe,” focusing instead on Asian countries, according to Der Spiegel.

he whistleblower website WikiLeaks is under cyber attack, it said via Twitter Sunday.

The announcement came shortly before the site is expected to release an enormous new cache of secret documents, possibly of United States diplomatic material.

The site is experiencing a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack, it said. That’s an effort to make a website unavailable to users, normally by flooding it with requests for data.

Yes, it is. Wonder if it is related to wikileaks’ problems.
