We've seen Afghan War, Iraq War and now US Diplomatic document releases. Where are the Russian documents? The Chinese? Wikileaks could just as easily be used to release documentation from some of the more oppressive regimes of the world.
Maybe they have been and it hasn't been getting the press here, or maybe they just got one really, really good source in the US.

That's pretty much it. According to the Wikipedia page, WikiLeaks has released many documents that have nothing to do with the United States. For example, in 2009 the site won an Amnesty International media award for leaking information about secret extra-judicial killings in Kenya.
A list of the site's notable leaks is here:
