I read somewhere that they have given a bunch of cables to a Norwegian newspaper (and a few others, I believe). The newspapers will publish the cables. They plan to do it as news stories instead of just a mass of cables.

Hopefully someone will have an update on Assange the person and his whereabouts and legal status and maybe a more proper assessment of the recently released cables.
