The whistleblower website WikiLeaks claims to have released more than half a million U.S. diplomatic cables from 1978.
In a blog post Wednesday, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange called these documents the "Carter Cables II," as they come from a tumultuous time for the Jimmy Carter administration and cover conflicts in Palestine, Lebanon, Cambodia and Eritrea as well as the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua and the Iranian revolution.
Other important events mentioned in the documents include Carter's decision to postpone the production of the neutron bomb, as well as the disintegration of a Soviet Union satellite over Canada in January 1978.
Assange says a total of 500,577 documents were released, covering U.S. interactions with "nearly every country."
