I don't see this as a right vs. left issue. The handling of it hasn't been that bad, and seems like Wikileaks is just playing it up for attention by releasing them slowly on the site, but all of them in a torrent file. And I want to see government accountable and small, yet there are secrets that need to be kept from the general public and foreign nations.
I'm not saying that Wikileaks should go away anymore, just that they should be professional journalists (or work with them) and figure out what the public should know of crimes being committed or politically unfavorable choices being made. But not just putting a bunch of random things on-line which may not mean anything to 99.9% of the population, but is critical for the other .1% to find out. And over-classification isn't a crime, yet security managers need to be the ones checking it out.
