AMURRRRIKA!
I love how the media is making out as though he is directly compromising current covert activities. The last lot of info leaked on the war had the same statements condemning the leaks only to have someone review it all and say it was mostly harmless info to operations and more embarrassing for politicians and commanders. When this lot got leaked he sent it all to various news people with good defence dept ties and got them to check it for validity and safety. Turns out most of it is just embarrassing, not actually predudicial.
Also, who else thinks the rape charges sound like a honey-trap?

REMINDER: Here Are The "Sex Crimes" Interpol Wants Julian Assange Arrested For
Nov. 30, 2010, 9:06 PM
It was initially assumed, when the molestation and rape charges were filed in Sweden against Wikileaks founder Julian Assange a couple months back, that they were a political hit job--an attempt to silence him for publishing stuff that powerful people don't want to see published.
Then the stories underlying the charges were published, and it seemed something else was at work. (Women scorned).
But now Wikileaks has published a whole new trove of documents, causing US politicians to howl that Julian Assange should be arrested for espionage.
And now Interpol has issued a warrant for Assange's arrest on the sex charges!
What are those sex charges, anyway?
Assuming they're the same Swedish sex charges, to hear the Sydney Herald's Asher Moses tell it, they're complaints from two women annoyed that they let Assange seduce them.
The two women who filed the original charges had sex with Assange on successive nights. Both seemed pissed that he charmed them into bed and then never called them again. Both were mortified to learn, after the fact, that he had had sex with them on back-to-back evenings. One was annoyed that, after seducing her in a movie theater, he spent the 45 minutes in the cab riding from a movie to her apartment "tweeting and texting and reading stories about himself." Both said he preferred not to wear a condom. One said he seemed to have an aversion to the word "no." And so on...
At least as the Sydney Herald's Asher Moses tells it, there's not much in the stories about forced sex or "molestation" or politically-driven hit jobs. Mostly it's about two Julian Assange fans annoyed that the rock star Wikileaks founder charmed their pants off and then bolted.
The rape charges have since been dropped. The "molestation" charge is outstanding.
And now Interpol has issued a warrant for Assange's arrest...
The American goverment is owned by the citizens. There should be no secrets.At the same time, it is not appropriate to leak information concerning war, especially focusing on the US only. Yeah, I'm sure disclosure of the location of strategically important objects won't endanger the national security of the US. I do not condemn Wikileaks, but I think they have gone too far with this as it could end up being counter-productive instead. There are things that do not concern every average Joe or things that should not be known to nations that can be hostile.
I suggest you to intoduce yourselves to Niccol? Machiavelli's The Prince to understand what I mean.

If the government wasn't involved in so much shady ****, then organizations like Wikileaks would have nothing to leak.
The purpose of classification is ostensibly to protect information from being used to damage or endanger national security
