Gee, that's funny, because the first big batch released hundreds of thousands of documents about US military operations in the Middle East, and no big scandal has come out of it. Your saying the US military operates "above the law" and this seems not to be the case.
There's a movement that thinks the US is behind all of this. Seems all Wiki Leaks has is some low grade info including after action reports of military operations and then a bunch of stuff the US State Department can use to embarress other countries.
Makes you wonder doesn't it?
