Well, it seems to me that Wikileaks offers context-free information that is real data. To me, this is not propaganda.

The propaganda is the info itself.
It is impossible to prove that any of the data is real. I agree with you and said in my post that I do not know for certain if Assange is a fed or if wikileaks is disinfo but it is very feasible that the Pentagon could very easily plant disinfo in the documents and then leak them themselves. There is a clear advantage to having wikileaks disseminate the info as apposed to the standard whitehouse press conference.

The most glaring problem? The lack of security for it's informants. Both the source for the leaked documents and the massacre video were arrested after the leak. Both of these sources were outed by hackers. Wikileaks does a very poor job of protecting it's sources. Is this on purpose?

I also tend to believe that Wikileaks is just one of many social experiments being run on the people of the world.
