I'm interpreting this article to say Assange's goal is to decrease the effectiveness of the conspiracy (eg, US government function) by killing off information flows within the conspiracy.
If that is so, then I really fear a world with Assange as the head of Wikileaks.
One of the major reasons why the government failed to prevent the 9/11 plot was because nobody had all the information in one place so that they could connect the dots. The 9/11 Commission recommended that different parts of the government increase the amount of information they share with each other. (Indeed, the State Department posting certain cables onto SIPRNET that was the source of this leak was part of the response to that recommendation.)
If Assange's actions induce a return to the world of stovepiping, then the future might not be so rosy.
Then I guess my only question is why does he want a world like this? Will society be better off in this kind of world?
