Oh brother...

  In my opinion the "peace" part in this means, by releasing the cables, he deeply embarrassed US (to which some US politicians even openly wishes him death). But think for a moment: a thief won't stop stealing until he got caught. Then, one of two may happen: either he come back on the streets and steal again, or learn his lesson through punishment and embarrassment (oh, if I steal again and get caught, it won't be nice) and stop stealing. I think that's where the "peace" part comes in. Next time the US government will try to double-cross different countries on different issues, ambassadors, politicians, soldiers and other involved will think twice or three times prior. Further, US gov put him on wanted list claiming that he released so much confidential information that US will drown under terrorist attacks and the hell itself will break loose. Well, today I think it is safe to say that nothing like that happened; I havent heard about even one single breach when a crime party would use a wiki leaks info. Looks like, not surprisingly, US government overblown "security and confidentiality" part out of proportion. No wonder; after all, what are the other ways to rip citizens off their hard earned money, shove them into industrial, private military complex or other non-government third party entities while taking away the remaining of the US liberty. congrats to Assange.
