Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:

  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #06KUWAIT4288.

SUBJECT: KUWAIT COUNTRY CLEARANCE GRANTED FOR JANE ELLEN 
BAGWELL AND JASON WILSON 
 
REF: BAGHDAD 004060 
 
1. Embassy Kuwait welcomes and grants country clearance for 
Ms. Jane Ellen Bagwell and Mr. Jason Wilson to travel to post 
o/a 3 November to 11 November, 2006. 
 
2. This clearance is not/not valid for entry into Iraq; you 
must apply for Iraq clearance through Embassy Baghdad. 
 
3. As requested, no ground support services or hotel 
reservations have been arranged.  Embassy point of contact 
is: 
 
DeWitt Conklin, Political Officer 
Office- (965) 259-1533 
Cell- (965) 936-4497 
Fax- (965) 259-1051 
Unclass e-mail: ConklinDC@state.gov 
 
SIPDIS 
 
4. Following is post's standard guidance for visitors to 
Kuwait: Kuwait now issues single-entry visas to American 
citizens on arrival, upon presentation of a passport.  Post 
strongly advises travelers to carry some documentation on the 
purpose of their visit.  Passengers arriving on other than 
commercial flights should anticipate extra delays, because 
immigration services are not available on the military side 
of the airfield and passports have to be carried to a 
different site at the airport for processing. Airport visas 
are valid for 90 days after arrival; anyone staying beyond 
this period must obtain an extension, which should be 
requested 2 weeks prior to expiration.  Anyone departing 
Kuwait who has overstayed the visa will be charged a fine of 
KD 10 (US$33.50) per day at the airport.  All travelers 
planning to visit Iraq should make sure that they obtain 
exit/entry stamps for each transit through Kuwait, and be 
aware that they will need to obtain a new Kuwaiti visa upon 
return, even after a daytrip to Ba  ghdad.  Failure to do so 
can result in heavy fines.  If possible, travelers should try 
to obtain a multiple-entry visa before arriving in Kuwait. 
 
5. Visitors are reminded that the importation of alcohol, 
pork products, personal firearms, and any 
suggestive/pornographic materials (videotapes, magazines or 
books) is strictly prohibited by Kuwaiti law.  Kuwait is 
still clearing mines and munitions. Visitors must remain on 
major paved roads when traveling in Kuwait. Travel North of 
Jahra toward the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border is not authorized 
without approval from the embassy and an appropriate escort. 
 
6. Threat Assessment: Kuwait is a high-threat post and the 
military threatcon is currently Charlie.  We have increased 
security precautions at official U.S. installations in Kuwait 
and recommend that all Americans in Kuwait remain alert to 
their surroundings and review their personal security 
practices. 
 
7.  Fiscal Data: Thank you for providing fiscal data.  Each 
agency, organization, delegation or visiting individual will 
be charged for all costs attributed to their visit. These 
costs include, but not limited to: LES and American staff 
overtime, vehicle and equipment rental, office and medical 
supplies, telephone calls, expeditor services, airport 
transportation other mileage driven, and representational 
events. If fiscal data on visitor's travel authorization is 
to be used for this purpose, it must be clearly spelled out 
and sufficient funding must be provided. 
 
8. Health Unit: All TDY or PCS personnel that would like to 
be vaccinated against smallpox should get the vaccine in 
M/MED in Washington before coming to post. The smallpox 
vaccine for pre-exposure vaccination is not available at 
post. There are prepositioned doses of smallpox vaccine at 
post to be used only if an actual exposure occurs.  The 
smallpox vaccine is being offered to personnel that are 
coming to work at Embassy Kuwait as a strictly voluntary 
protection in case of a possible biological attack. 
 
9.  Health Advisory for Kuwait:  Visitors in November through 
March can expect cold winds and at times heavy rains. Light 
winter clothing is suitable for Kuwait. At this time 
allergies and colds are more common. Persons traveling to the 
area are advised to have over-the-counter medications, such 
as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, cold and cough medications with them 
for self-treatment. 
 
10. Health Advisory for Iraq:  Remember to bring adequate 
medications and to be current on vaccines as getting medical 
supplies in Iraq has been difficult. Consistent with US 
military policy since January 2005, and having no cases of 
malaria reported to date in US Embassy personnel, malaria 
prophylaxis is not routinely recommended for Iraq. Vivax 
 
malaria historically exists in the northern provinces of 
Duhok, Erbil, Ninawa, Sulaimaniya, Tmim (May-October), and in 
the south around Basrah (April-November). There is no risk in 
Baghdad. Individuals that travel to those areas need to 
continue to check current embassy recommendations. Malaria 
must be a consideration in anyone with a fever who has 
traveled to those areas.  To protect against insect bites, 
use insect repellants, long clothing and other measures to 
prevent insect bites. 
 
11. CAA Access: Visitors who need unescorted access into 
secure areas of the mission must slug cables to the attention 
of the RSO, and include the level of their clearance.  The 
cable should include the social security number of the 
requestor and the name of the agency granting the clearance. 
Cables should include the ASEC tag to ensure distribution to 
the RSO office and the Marine Security Guard at Post One. 
 
12. Computer and Electronics usage: Inter-agency security 
standards prohibit the introduction or use of non-USG owned 
computer hardware and software at all USG diplomatic 
facilities. Cell phones, palm pilots, radios and other 
convenience electronics are prohibited in all secure areas of 
the mission. 
 
13.  Sensitive military information has been located recently 
on business center computers at local hotels in Kuwait City. 
All US Government personnel and contractors must remember 
that it is their responsibility to observe good computer and 
information security practices.  Information processed on 
computers and hotel business centers, through e-mail 
correspondence or document creation, is highly exploitable. 
Public computers located in hotel business centers, internet 
cafes, airport lounges, etc. should never be used to process, 
store or disseminate sensitive information.  Compromise of 
sensitive government or military information can result in 
serious damage to national security.  Compromises of 
sensitive personal data can result in significant personal 
and financial hardship.  Random checks are conducted by 
Embassy personnel on public PC's.  Breaches in COMPUSEC will 
result in the violator receiving security infractions and/or 
security violations. 
 
 14. Embassy Kuwait's normal workweek is Saturday through 
Wednesday. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
switchboard numbers are (965) 259-1001, IVG: 495-0000. The 
after hours number which rings at Marine Guard post one is 
(965) 538-2098. 
 
15. The time difference with the East Coast of the United 
States is EST plus 8 hours.
