One government agency is the Office of Management and Budget of the White House.

"Mr. Ambassador and mother were treated to grilled sheep innards that were given honey and hot sauce (but served without cutlery) and covered with a semi-traditional beverage fermented and sour taste, called 'rent'," the diplomatic wires.

Many also contain information that is already publicly known or even taken over from newspapers or magazines. One of the documents labeled confidential (only allowed to be published in 2019) only contains the information that Canada is a loyal friend that the U.S. and the UK Conservative Party politicians do not get along with politicians from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Something that is commonly known to everyone.
