Walid Jumblat on Wikileaks

Walid Jumblat confirmed the authenticity of Wikileaks.  In fact, I can report to you that Hizbullah--hoping to spare its new lousy ally embarrassment--asked him last week to issue denials of his statements in Wikileaks and he refused (telling Hizbullah privately that "we had said even worse things").  He told As-Safir today:  "I won't deny what was attributed to me personally (in Wikileaks) because I was in [a state of] alienation that made me use expressions or comments that are contrary to the national and patriotic heritage and now I have returned to my real, natural and historic position."
