On a related note, for all we know, much of the "leaked" documents may have been intentionally provided to Wikileaks by the U.S. government itself.
There are differing degrees of document classification - are any of the documents "leaked" of the highest classifications of "secret" and "top secret"? I'd wager not...
Anyways, do the documents truly contain much significant information that isn't already known / findable elsewhere?
Don't get me wrong, it's great there are sites like Wikileaks, but am skeptical of the information they're posting / motivations of those who "leak" the info to Wikileaks.
For example, according to a news media report, one of the documents contains info about the "hikers" being held in Iran when captured were on the Iraq side of the border ... ok, but that was already widely publicized in the media months ago ... what wasn't mentioned is why the "hikers" were there to begin with ... are they spies? Or what?
Point is if many of the other documents are like that one, simply mentioning details that were already widely known, then there's likely little to no real new information to be discovered.
