Wikileaks: Abiko off the hook

The mayor of Abiko can rest easy tonight. Our Man has downloaded the wikileaks document and he can say this: Apart from a cable about Taro Aso reporting that the Chinese President was feeling "tired" and that a couple of Brit journos in China were being harassed by some goons, there was little of interest to Our Man.

But he'll have another crack at it tomorrow. There were only 220 of nearly 250,000 documents released. And there should be in the order of 6,000 cables (secret messages) coming from the US Embassy in Japan to sift through.

But don't worry, I'm sure the Japanese press will do a better job than Our Man. Oh yes.

Carry on.
