Did you read the actual Wikileaks document that the Telegraph based its story on though? They link to it in their article (which is cool) but it doesn't seem to support their conclusions in the slightest:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/8289698/Egypt-protests-secret-US-document-discloses-support-for-protesters.html According to that document, the protester came to the US government with a plan for undermining Mubarak's regime, not the US sending plants. It also repeatedly refers to the plan from the protester as "highly unrealistic" and that they are "doubtful of his claim". I can't see anything in that document that would lend credence to the suggestion that the US helped plan anything that resulted in the current protests.
