WikiLeaks documents describe tense US relationship with Russia
Contents of thousands of confidential embassy cables obtained by WikiLeaks have been steadily released by our partner, The New York Times. In the past week, we’ve heard some unusually candid exchanges between diplomats in Pakistan, North Korea, and Iran. Today, with the help of Andy Lehren from The New York Times, we’ll find out what the diplomatic communiques said involving Russia, and its Prime Minister, Vladimir Putin. It’s not an entirely pretty picture.
