Enjoy! The voice of the Embassy Cables is that of an employee reporting to their boss. For example when the embassy in Stockholm says "During seven months in office, the Alliance government has changed the labor laws to reduce unemployment benefits and
provide incentives to employment. It has announced plans to
do away with the wealth tax and abolish the valuation-based
property tax, replacing it with a much-reduced local tax. (reduced tax for somebody with property but more tax for those of us who don't) It
has introduced and is expected to pass legislation
authorizing the sale of six large state-owned businesses
during the coming three years." The tone is of approval.
