The article does not mention whether those were in paper format or digital. It mentioned student notes so I would think it to be more likely that they were in the former format. As such, except for actually posting the documents, I can not see how they can be leaked. That is very different from the download and send, which protects anonymity much more I would think perhaps, as well as being more convenient. To address the point of the parent, I do not think Wikileaks chooses which documents to leaks. It is more a supply thing rather than someone sitting on a pile of documents sifting through them to see which serves their own political agenda if they were leaked. Though I hardly know anything of wikileaks, the wiki part in the leaks sort of suggests that it is kind of like wikipeia, so that anyone can leak whatever they want straight away I guess without going through some sort of filtering system.
