Reading the link that the techdirt article is based on, the document is about an analyst with Top Secret clearance who had been actively expressing support for Wikileaks. The document suggests that he could be charged with "communicating with an enemy" if he had leaked secrets to Wikileaks, and because it mentions no other organizations, some people are taking this to mean that Wikileaks itself is considered an enemy of the United States.
That same article, though, mentions that Bradley Manning was charged with this exact thing - but the enemy he is accused of communicating with is specifically Al-Qaeda, not Wikileaks. Apparently, they consider Wikileaks an intermediary for communicating with terrorists.
