Anyway, we have only seen excerpts of the emails, not the full text - colour me surprised if the DM has printed the bits that sound inflammatory, but in context sound reasonable.

What any government seeks from it's ambassadors is an honest and frank appraisal of a situation which is why they are private and NOT for public consumption. If ambassadors start editing their correspondence to the government then they become useless as a source of information.
