Undercover Operations and Wikileaks

[Long article, but one of the best articles I've read about Wikileaks, 20min read]
"There is nothing in the background or practical experience of Assange to support the assertions that the information his organization releases does not jeaopardize lives or operations. As such, when WikiLeaks dumps millions of documents with names and locations, these activists have no way of knowing who or what is compromised. Assange is a babe in the woods when it comes to knowing the effect of releasing sensitive data into the public domain. Those running covert operations and informants have all had to shut down a file or an investigation to protect a source, an operative, or another investigation as the exposure of one can lead to the exposure of another. As governments have not disclosed which investigations or persons have been compromised by WikiLeaks, Assange claims this as a sign that he has done no harm.
