They're presenting a circular argument.
On the one hand the competing interests are super smart and pose great risk to the US (in this scenario) and can capitalize on each and every piece of info in these leaks, yet they're not clandestine and diligent enough to procure these items themselves and have to wait for people like Assange to release the info so that they can capitalize on it.
Wikileaks is really for the concerned ordinary citizen, and that's why I find it ironic to see the citizenry outraged by these historical data. That these releases constitute some major tactical or strategic threat is hard to defend; they're after the fact recounts. Gibbs today was stuttering and bumbling through his attempted explanation as to *how* these releases would have a meaningful impact on soldier security. At one point he even said "it's not the content" of the reports.
