I have a right not to follow illegal orders, I have a duty to report illegal or questionable items up the chain of command.
I don't have the right to break my service oath or my security clearance by dumping documents to wikileaks.

But what if the illegal acts are approved by the Commander in Chief? Reporting them up the chain of command isn't going to solve the problem. I have mixed feelings about wikileaks in general, and a lot of the stuff being leaked probably shouldn't be (particularly where it doesn't pertain to illegal actions sanctioned by government), but there are times when public disclosure is the only solution.
