When reasoning with incomplete information, things like history of credibility have to be taken into account. US Intelligence services have been caught in lie after lie. Wikileaks has never been caught lying. Trust is not binary. You don't have to "trust" WikiLeaks to wonder if there's something sketchy going on.

Since I don't trust anyone on this issue, my only conclusion is that I don't know what's going on here, and I'm not going to pretend to be an instant expert. (In particular, I don't trust Wikileaks to know whether they are being played or not. Attribution seems difficult.)

  It's by design that you don't know what's going on here.

    Yes, that's how it works. It's still the right conclusion, particularly when you're not paying close attention.
