This quote from metafilter, just about sums it up:

"My ability to decide how I feel about Wikileaks' activities is
totally annihilated by my ongoing realization that it cannot possibly
be real. It's a plot device in a near-future thriller novel. I mean,
seriously, semi-stateless man with an unusual appearance uses an army
of anonymous allies to expose governments' secrets, and posts an
insurance file in public with some kind of deadman switch in case he's
taken out by his enemies? That shit does not happen in real life.
Julian Assange is a Neal Stephenson character who's escaped in to the
real world."
