From Wikipedia, just one incident that Wikileaks helped publicize:


Hack of Sarah Palin's Yahoo account

In September 2008, during the 2008 United States presidential election campaigns, the contents of a Yahoo account belonging to Sarah Palin (the running mate of Republican presidential nominee John McCain) were posted on Wikileaks. The contents of the mailbox seemed to suggest that she used the private Yahoo account to send work-related messages in order to evade public record laws. The hacking of the account was widely reported in mainstream news outlets. Although Wikileaks was able to conceal the hacker's identity, the source of the Palin emails was eventually publicly identified in another way; the hacker attempted to conceal his identity by using the anonymous proxy service ctunnel.com, but, because of the illegal nature of the access, ctunnel website administrator Gabriel Ramuglia assisted the FBI in tracking down the source of the hack. The hacker was revealed to be David Kernell, a 20-year-old economics student at the University of Tennessee and the son of Democratic Tennessee State Representative Mike Kernell from Memphis.

Not sure how I feel about supporting a site that glorifies hacking people's email accounts.

Once you are a public figure, being paid by the tax payers to represent them, you shouldn't expect to be able to get away with subverting the law.

The list of Wikileaks' victories are pretty minor. There should be thousands of instances of corruption / fraud that could be made public.

Wikileaks doesn't promote agenda's or "glorify" illegal actions.

It posts anything that assists in revealing unethical behavior in govts/corps.

I wouldn't call what he did hacking, he simply answered her recovery question right. Hacking to me is more like SQL injections, XSS, and server exploits.
