LPR accused of leaking US diplomatic note to media

The issue is serious as the note included information on cooperation of Polish and American intelligence in North Korea. "It was revealed that both countries cooperate in Korea. In such a totalitarian state the authorities can easily identify such persons.The Americans are outraged," said an official of the Foreign Ministry. The note also concerned critical words of Kenneth Hillas against deputy PM Roman Giertych on his opinions in relation to casualties of the war in Iraq.Hillas claimed that for such words the deputy PM of any other European country would be sacked straight away. A person close to the PM said that the source of leakage was Roman Giertych via his loyal companion Wojciech Wierzejski. Both of them deny the allegations, but at the same time noted that the note did not bear any confidentiality stamp. (Rzeczpospolita, pp.A1, A3) M.M.
