Get a sense of perspective. The USA and its allies (who are, of course, by all their own laws, complicit) have directly killed and caused the deaths of over a million people in Iraq and Afghanistan during the faked hunt for Osama. The vast majority of those were of course absolutely unrelated to the conflict in any way. And of the rest, most were innocent in this context because they didn't support Osama and weren't shooting at us until we started shooting at them.
There are a million dead, at least, many of them with holes made by US (and allied) munitions, and you're quibbling about a few who could be threatened, in what has actually been by far the largest and safest (innocents/dictators hurt) release of classified documents EVER.
This is serious stuff, stuff worth having posted everywhere, spammed to everyone, SMSing to every phone in the world, etc, on the chance that one copy would get through and let one journalist write one good expose. That it's been managed so as to have a groundbreakingly huge ratio of exposes written to actual data leaked is a stunning testimony to their delicate and thoughtful handling of the media organizations. What we see in North America and the EU is just a shadow of the literally world-wide (and now, hopefully, world-wise) fallout from these leaks.
Irresponsible ego tripping and deluded transparency advocates indeed.
