The guy is a bit out there in terms of views, and I'm not sure that the WikiLeaks dumps are entirely productive--lots of useless crap, and potentially some things that could endanger "field agents" though evidence that that is really the case seems to keep NOT coming up--but our own news media has become so horrible over the past 30 years that WikiLeaks is about the only game in town that is willing to hold the feet of the powerful to the fire.
Granted sometimes it isn't powerful that are grabbed, and it's possible they are a little to eager to burn and not so much to improve, but right now it's the closest thing out there to journalism that speaks truth to power. If the media would do their job better, then WikiLeaks would disappear.
