This serves no useful purpose other than to pump up his ego. As much as some may dislike it there are valid reasons for having secrets and protecting them. WikiLeaks' last document dump endangered lives, what will this one do? I find the involvement of mainstream media like the NYT to be disgusting and bordering on treason. I am not opposed to exposing abuses, but a massive dump like this isn't about exposing any specific issue. I hope it ends up being a flop like their so called 'collateral murder' video ended up being. But given the size of this leak I can't help but think there could very well be real collateral damage from it.
