What is an embassy cable?
Embassy cables are a formal term for (almost always confidential) diplomatic messages sent from an embassy to the foreign ministry (or department) of the embassy's parent nation. Thus, an "embassy cable" from the US Embassy in Germany would be sent to the US Department of State. Embassy cables typically include diplomatically sensitive information, including frank assessments of political or economic situations in the embassy's host country, details on important political figures, military info, and possibly even espionage results. They are considered sacrosant, and are not to be intercepted or monitored (they are the communications equivalent of the diplomatic pouch). Of course, most nations nonetheless monitor these from other countries, but almost always refrain from making the contents known publically. The term comes from a time when messages were sent via submarine communication cables.
