The prophets of the Bible very rarely foresaw the future. More often than not, their message was one of forthtelling: the act of exposing sin, corruption, and malfeasance. As such, they weren't particularly popular people, regularly persecuted, even though they were doing the right thing.
What we see in WikiLeaks is a lot of forthtelling, and similar backlash. What is right and what is legal rarely align, and WikiLeaks is no exception. The actions taken by WikiLeaks endangered the lives of US operatives, and also shed light on abuses of power.
While I agree that the law needs to be upheld, I disagree that he did the wrong thing. He definitely did the right thing, but that the US government is right to seek his extradition. I just wish it want such a difficult situation.

Doesn't the religion imply that only God is supposed to be the judge? Please explain which quote from the bible you reference? Where does it say to expose sin?
So you say lives were endangered? Do you think one man or any man should have the authority to endanger the lives of others to express moral sentiments or for a political cause? If you think a man should have this authority then where does this authority receive justification from?
I was referring to Elijah calling out king Ahab for his sins in 1 Kings, amongst others. That's just the first one that comes to mind.
Easy there, tiger. No need to get angry.
