Exactly what is Assange's agenda? He leaks anything he's given. This is just by far one of his more high profile leaks.
If nothing else, this whole episode tells us what B.S. government secrecy is. With much of the stuff being released, there's no real reason why any of it should be secret.
With the embassy leaks (which I think are a bigger deal), I think those can be very embarrassing. But maybe they should be.
I've heard nothing to really substantiate that any of these leaks will place our soldiers in harm's way, so I'm assuming that as usual, the military and their mouthpieces are full of s***. Fool me once and such.
