When does this start to feel uncomfortable?

I mean, as an American citizen who might be affected by terrorist activity committed with the use of information from these "WikiLeaks" do you feel more or less vulnerable?  Allegedly, this would be information stolen from US sources by an American citizen, who passes it along to a foreign national and who then distributes it worldwide and indiscriminately.

From Poynter:

Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism faculty and officers tell President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder that “while we hold varying opinions of Wikileaks’ methods and decisions, we all believe that in publishing diplomatic cables Wikileaks is engaging in journalistic activity protected by the First Amendment” and that “as a historical matter, government overreaction to publication of leaked material in the press has always been more damaging to American democracy than the leaks themselves.”

It appears the the good folks at Columbia think that this is all protected by the US Constitution's First Amendment, which does not apply to at least two legs of the distribution process.  And it avoids the issue of espionage during wartime, another issue entirely, and one punishable by death, according to the US Codes.
