Do people at WikiLeaks leak concealed information?

For those who no little about WikiLeaks.org, here is a small premiere:

WikiLeaks is a multi-jurisdictional public service designed to protect whistleblowers (raises a concern about wrongdoing occurring in an organization or body of people.), who have sensitive materials to communicate to the public.
WikiLeaks is the strongest way of generating the true democracy and good governance on which all mankind's dreams depend.
WikiLeaks operates by combining the protection and anonymity of cutting-edge cryptographic technologies with the comfortable presentation style of Wikipedia.

In April, Wikileaks released video footage of a U.S. Apache helicopter attack in Iraq that killed several civilians, including two employees of the Reuters news service.
WikiLeaks has also unconfined the 9/11 tragedy pager intercepts from early morning on September 11, 2001, till 24 hours later the attack.
#-Link-Snipped-#This time, Wikileaks.org is planning to release documents related to a U.S. Air strike that killed Afghan civilians last year and plans to release combat footage of the incident this summer.
Julian Assange who sits in the nine-member advisory board and is a prominent media spokesman for WikiLeaks, has confirmed the news.

Wikileaks has been into global headlines ever since for most of the times and ignited debate and questions against the site that aims to reveal government and corporate secrets.

It is true that since centuries people have been fooled by people vouching for total transparency.
Does the digital revolution change all that?
Or is the website monitored and scrutinized by the U.S. Government for what to publish and what not to?

They says that the biggest challenge the Leakers face is the difficulty of remaining anonymous.

What is your take on this?
