The Grace Mugabe Wikileaks dossier

First Lady Grace Mugabe always makes good copy. This even applied to the Wikileaks cables. Though our initial search indicated that she was cited in 85 cables, when we read through the cable, we discovered that she was cited in 34. The other 51 cables either mentioned her husband President Robert Mugabe wanting to exit gracefully or Mugabe and some United States official whose first name was Grace.

Here are the cables:
