The more secretive or unjust an organization is, the
more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership
and planning coterie. This must result in minimization
of efficient internal communications mechanisms (an
increase in cognitive "secrecy tax") and consequent
system-wide cognitive decline resulting in decreased
ability to hold onto power as the environment demands
adaption.
Julian Assange is seeming more and more prescient every other day.

He was considered quite bold and respectable for all his work until the cables happened. As long as his leaks did not have anything to do with back home you know. At least that's how it all seems to me.
