There's nothing we didn't know in the wikileaks

Many people seem to be of the opinion that there's nothing we didn't already know having come out of the wikileaks.
So I thought I'd compile a brief list of things I didn't already know:
How deeply Shell controls the Nigerian government:

The US mercenary company, DynCorp has helped facilitate child prostitution in Afghanistan:

Gordon Brown had said that Trident would not be renewed, but actually it will be!

There is a US spy in the Australian government (not yet sacked)

but in Germany, when the spy ( a minister's aide) was outed, he was sacked!

BP suffered a giant gas leak in Azerbaijan 18 months before the Gulf of Mexico disaster. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/15/wikileaks-bp-azerbaijan-gulf-spill?INTCMP=SRCH so they already knew there was a danger...
And I'm sure you saw this devastating video of the US helicopter patrol, which wikileaks brought to the public a few months ago:

Just a few! Did you know any of them? I sure didn't!
However, I like the way you think here
and I think it's good that people are keeping an eye out to see if something else is happening whilst this drama unfolds ...
