Dangerous?  Dangerous?!  I'll quote from the article:

WikiLeaks has a four-year publishing history. During
that time we have changed whole governments, but not a single person,
as far as anyone is aware, has been harmed. But the US, with
Australian government connivance, has killed thousands in the past few
months alone.

US Secretary of Defence Robert Gates admitted in a letter to the US
congress that no sensitive intelligence sources or methods had been
compromised by the Afghan war logs disclosure. The Pentagon stated
there was no evidence the WikiLeaks reports had led to anyone being
harmed in Afghanistan. NATO in Kabul told CNN it couldn't find a
single person who needed protecting. The Australian Department of
Defence said the same. No Australian troops or sources have been hurt
by anything we have published.

I'll find you the links for those statements by the Pentagon and the
Secretary of Defense and NATO, if you can't google them yourself.

So for those keeping score: killing or torturing of innocents whether
on purpose or by criminal negligence; Wikileaks: 0; USA: tens of
thousands.  Attempts to hide it's own killing of innocents; Wikileaks:
0, USA: thousands and counting.

Wikileaks is dangerous?  To whom?
