"Have any of the leaks brought us anything productive?"
How about all the democratic uprisings in the middle east?
All the leaks are pure facts. The truth is always worth being told. Would you rather live in a dream world that really doesn't exist?

I count this as a point against Wikileaks as an organization. Would you not agree they've engaged in a considerable amount of spin? At the very least don't you think that "Collateral Murder" was not simply a matter of "pure facts"?
As for their strategy of slowly releasing the leaks, that's more gray to me. I can understand the rationale that it is so all of the leaks get the attention they deserve, but I also wonder how biased their decisions on what to release first are.
That said, I think they've done far more for revealing the truth than they have for spinning or concealing it.
