Viewing cable 10MADRID154, SPAIN DETAILS ITS STRATEGY TO COMBAT THE RUSSIAN

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking
to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at
theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags
#cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #10MADRID154.
