Look at who hacked into Palins email account and submitted it to Wikileaks and tell me there wasn't any political motives involved.

Then ultimately, this is a good thing. Government without the threat that its actions will be exposed in a very public way is bound to misbehave. WikiLeaks literally means that any corrupt behavior by anyone high profile enough cannot be guaranteed to occur in private. There's always the specter of a leak which is discussed ad nauseum on CNN.
I'm fine with that. I don't care about the agenda of the individual submitting the data. I like that the threat exists whether you are a Swiss banking exec or a military officer authorizing international-law-violating black ops in Afghanistan.
