Newly disclosed diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks has revealed details about how U.S. diplomats have actively promoted the sale of commercial jets built by the U.S. company Boeing. The New York Times reports U.S. diplomats were acting like marketing agents, offering deals to heads of state and airline executives in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, Turkey and other countries. The WikiLeaks documents also suggest that demands for bribes, or at least payment to suspicious intermediaries, still take place.
