French Elysee Diplomatic Advisor Jean-David Levitte, on September 11th 2009:

“Levitte observed that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is “crazy” and said that even Brazil wasn’t able to support him anymore. Unfortunately, Chavez is taking one of the richest countries in Latin America and turning it into another Zimbabwe.”

Gotta wonder about these Frenchies, what with Brazil having come out with unmitigated support for Chávez time and again since that ‘advisor’ shot his mouth off to the US visiting delegation to Paris. Anyway, apart from that and the usual US paranoia about hezbollah in Paraguay, there doesn’t seem to be much about LatAm in the leaked documents, so forget this corner of the world and worry more about Saudi Arabia wanting to bomb the frak outta Iran, methinks.

UPDATE: One more. Apparently The USA was worried about Argentina’s President Cristina and the state of her mental health. Oh that’s caring of them, isn’t it?

UPDATE 2: Sketch adds another in the comments section. Thanks Sketch, here it is:

Have you seen the one from the US Embassy in Tegucigalpa?

“”there is no doubt that the military, Supreme Court and National Congress conspired on June 28 in what constituted an illegal and unconstitutional coup against the Executive Branch,”

“There is equally no doubt from our perspective that Roberto Micheletti’s assumption of power was illegitimate.”

“Forced Removal by Military was Clearly Illegal”

“Congress Had no Authority to Remove Zelaya”
