Well yes, because what "wrongdoings" were exactly exposed with the full leaking of diplomatic cables for example? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States

  I'm not sure if you read the link you posted but I would consider the following wrongdoings: >The leaked cables revealed that diplomats of the U.S. and Britain eavesdropped on Secretary General Kofi Annan in the weeks before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, in apparent violation of international treaties prohibiting spying at the UN.[27][28] The intelligence information the diplomats were ordered to gather included biometric information, passwords, and personal encryption keys used in private and commercial networks for official communications.[28][29] It also included Internet and intranet usernames, e-mail addresses, web site URLs useful for identification, credit card numbers, frequent flier account numbers, and work schedules.[28][30][31] The targeted human intelligence was requested in a process known as the National Humint Collection Directive, and was aimed at foreign diplomats of US allies as well.[31] WikiLeaks released the cable on 28 November 2010.

    That was a open secret before, and there were surely other small things like this, the question is, why was it necessary to expose everything? I remember when it leaked and I was curious, but my question remained, where are the real dark scandals? Confirmation that US personal think "fuck the EU"? Hardly surprising, but not the meat that was promised.
