What I found particularly offensive was what he described in this
paragraph:
Moreover, Addington encouraged the U.S. intensify its lobbying
efforts, stating "if Canada is elevated to the Special 301
Priority Watch List (PWL), it would not hamper - and might even
help - the Government of Canada’s ability to enact
copyright legislation." Days later, Canada was elevated on the
Watch list.
The actual cable isn't quite as clearly horrible. See the section
numbered 2 in:
<http://cables.mrkva.eu/cable.php?id=203598>
This matches the quote-within-a-quote but isn't phrased as
"encouraged".
