Berri Threatens to Expose ‘Another Kind’ of WikiLeaks
Speaker Nabih Berri called for an emergency meeting for Amal movement officials last night in which he informed them that “there’s a conspiracy targeting their relationship with Hizbullah,” and they should work on abolishing it.
He said that the last reports from WikiLeaks were “dangerous” and “poisonous,” what required a decisive response from Amal Movement and Hizbullah, As Safir newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Berri considered that the “challenges facing our relationship (with the Shiite party) from time to time motivate us to strongly hold on to it.”
The latest WikiLeaks cable on Berri quoted him as saying that “the liberation of the Israeli-occupied Shabaa Farms would eliminate Hizbullah's excuse for keeping its arms.”
Another cable reported Caretaker Minister Mohammed Jawad Khalifeh as saying that the speaker was upset with Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah's victory speech at the end of the July 2006 war.
The speaker told As Safir that there are “many secrets” about the 2006 war that “no one knows except” for him and Nasrallah.
Berri accused former U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey Feltman of coming up with “booby-trapped conclusions” in his cables that he has sent to Washington, saying the problem is that the diplomat “doesn’t understand the nature of the relations that bind me with Sayyed Nasrallah.”
“Some of the content (of the WikiLeaks cables) is fabricated,” he told the daily.
Berri said that he advised MP Ali Hassan Khalil to write a book on the negotiations that took place during the 2006 war to reach a ceasefire. “Be sure that then we will have another kind of WikiLeaks.”
