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.

on encouraging additional countries to subscribe to the Hague 
Code of Conduct Against Ballistic Missile Proliferation 
(HCOC) to MFA Director for Bilateral Affairs Dhafer Al Umran. 
 Al Umran wondered aloud why the other GCC countries and 
Egypt had not signed up for the HCOC, but took note that 
Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman had voted in favor of the 2004 UNGA 
resolution.  He said that he would look into Bahrain's 
position on subscribing to the HCOC, commenting that the HCOC
