I'm all for exposing the lies and corruption within a government
but when it comes to releasing locations of secret bases, transatlantic cables etc. I think that goes a step too far. That just feels like releasing information for the sake of it

Did they release a list of secret bases?
If you're talking about the 'sensitive sites', it is basically a compilation of shipyards, insulin factories, and other non-secret locations deemed to be important for US interests. I would be surprised if there was much on that list that people with the internet couldn't have already figured out.
I don't think that these would be cases of releasing information just for the sake of it, either. Rather, one of the prime goals of Wikileaks is to make conspiracy- that's secret planning by governments without the knowledge or consent of civilians- much more difficult. I can see reasons to disagree with that agenda, but it certainly isn't just pointless releasing of info.
