I actually supported Wikileaks (and thank god didn't donate!) back when they were publicizing public-but-not-popular information, like about corporate malfeasance, public government documents, etc. Which is partially why I'm so pissed at Julian Assange for hijacking it into a largely anti-US agenda. ("Collateral Murder" had a really obvious spin when released, which was intentional; if they'd just dropped the video without commentary it would have been much more defensible.) Obviously I'm also against the illegal disclosure of any sensitive or classified government data; the correct recourse for someone like PFC Manning is to bring issues up through the chain of command, and if that fails, to the IG, and failing that, to Congress or the judicial system.
