I don't see where what Wikileaks has done is much different from what the New York Times has done from time to time--releasing classified government documents given to them by government whistle-blowers/leakers. Yes, it may be damaging/embarrassing to the government, but that's what comes with a free press, of which Wikileaks is a part.
The superhawks want to assassinate/torture/terminate/arrest Julian Assange, of course. But then again, they probably have a pretty long list of people they would like to kill/imprison. It's kind of in their nature. Thank God we're still a nation of law. So far.
