As for WikiLeaks, I don't know if it's illegal to publish information that you know was stolen, but it should be.

Makes no sense. Governments use "secrets" and control information to be able to commit atrocities. I know people like to overuse the Hitler example, as if genocide and abuse weren't happening right now.
As for governments being "entitled" to have secrets, really? Aren't we the ones to vote for them, aren't we supposed to know what they really do?
