This has nothing to do with the contents of any particular document. It has everything to do with Assange's larger strategy to weaken or destroy "unjust systems of governance". Assange himself explained the "non-linear effects of leaks on unjust systems of governance[1]". His rationale is that illegitimate power requires conspiracy and conspiracy requires secrecy. Therefore, by leaking information Assange makes secrecy so difficult that it cripples the organization's ability to communicate with itself and operate the conspiracy. The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie. This must result in minimization of efficient internal communications mechanisms (an increase in cognitive "secrecy tax") and consequent system-wide cognitive decline resulting in decreased ability to hold onto power as the environment demands adaption. Hence in a world where leaking is easy, secretive or unjust systems are nonlinearly hit relative to open, just systems. Since unjust systems by their nature induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them with more open forms of governance.
