I'm not sure how I feel about it, but part of that is distaste for the head of Wikileaks, which shouldn't color how I feel about the info they put it.

This last dump of info just seems rather pointless, though.

As far as I know it is not legal to publish classified info even if you didn't take it or scheme to get it yourself--it was just given to you.

The NY Times would attempt to argue a First Amendment Right here, but the right doesn't extend to Govt. secrets.

The Govt., as a practical matter, will seldom want to go after a big Newspaper--only if they had public opinion on their side would they do that.
