As far as that goes, I disagree with you and agree with Julian Assuage. Documents can and have been classified for no purpose other than to keep embarrassing information from the light of day. WikiLeaks publishes things it believes the public has a right to know.

My words have been twisted some in this thread so let me make this crystal clear. I do not advocate publication of documents that really are secret for a reason, for instance national security. (One of the most overused phrases in the language, along with "What the American people want is....") And if WikiLeaks put the lives of informants in danger by publishing their names, that is wrong. Tracy convinced me on that point. Even if nothing has happened to them, exposing them to retribution is indefensible.
