Submission + - Wikileaks shows the US is doing a pretty good job. (npr.org)

From the article: "One thing that is helpful is that it shows that the U.S. government is basically trying to put in place good policies, that it has a good idea of what's happening in Afghanistan and Pakistan and has a pretty good analysis of the situation of Russia,"
IT also shows the US is viewed fairly well in the Arab world. My favorite quote:
The silver lining really is that the U.S. doesn’t come across as a gunslinger, at least in the Middle East.

As an American, I'm pretty happy with the way things are actually being handled in the mid-east."
