I came across this email on Wikileaks by going to the HRC email archives and typing “confidential” for the search term.

TL:DR

  1. Wikileaks exposes only one instance of an international relationship that requires long-term negotiations. Although the outcomes of this will certainly be public, the procedural communications about these objectives need to be private for them to be effective.

  2. The government determines individual rights but relationships between state and people provide global governance.

  3. People believe Assange’s actions will drive better behavior from the government but all he is doing is harming the confidential communication among governments rather than fixing what is being done.

  4. Wikileaks hurts how governments manage relationships and keep global order with each other. (So basically they want to keep working their business games with other countries and they’re sad because they can’t be two-faced anymore)

  5. A world with transparency would not help climate change. (the logic of that paragraph -_-)

Looked up “caveat lector”, it means "reader beware" in Latin. Could also mean the magazine but I think they meant the former since this argument is just an outline/draft.
