It is irrelevant what he did, it’s the fact that he is being held without due process and respectable conditions while being held. That is considerably more illegal that what he may have done. Remember, we are innocent until proven guilty. A lot of people are starting to forget that, no?

“There have been very few major revelations from his documents that were not already suspected, but is lack of censorship has undoubtedly lead to the death of local informants who are guilty of nothing more then trying to make their country a safer place”

As far as I know, there have been no deaths associated with WikiLeaks material, even though many repeat this unfounded claim. Glenn Greenwald covered this a while back, writing

“… by the Pentagon’s own admission that, in stark contrast to its own actions, there is no evidence — zero — that any of WikiLeaks’ actions has caused even a single death.” (http://www.salon.com/2010/12/24/wikileaks_23/)

And as for there having been “few revelations”, I would point you to the thousands of news articles that contradict your position. Major issues revealed? Extensive over-classification of material, military cover-ups of possible war crimes, improper rules of engagement, improper government/corporate collusion (ie. government pressuring Haiti on behalf of major oil corps), just to name a few.

The truth is, there have been more important, news-breaking, releases coming out of WikiLeaks than any other media organization, and it is just wrong to say that “there have been few revelations” from the release of these materials. Without this kind of information, we have no way to hold the government to its overly-secretive foreign policy actions.
