Whistleblower website Wikileaks got its hands on 2,416 documents sent from or to the United States embassy in Bogota. None of the world media that were given access to information from a cache of over 250,000 cables on Sunday published contents from Bogota.

The oldest Bogota document obtained by Wikileaks dates January 17, 1985. The most recent one is from February 26, 2010 when the Bogota sent out six communiques to Washington. The vast majority of cables are no older than six years.

According to Wikileaks, 1,176 of these documents are unclassified, 1,106 are confidential and 134 were classified as secret.

Of all countries in Latin America, the Bogota embassy saw most cables leaked. The U.S. embassy in Venezuela follows with 2,340 leaked cables and Mexico City with 2,285.

1. Here's my list of time-frames & issues to look for when the Colombian cables get published...

I thought it would be handy for myself and others to make a list of what I would be looking for in such cables. It's not a complete list but it provides major areas and dates of concern and a context for studying the cables.
