Wikileaks Intentionally Destabilizing MidEast?

So I just came across this article "Special Report: U.S. cables detail Saudi royal welfare program"

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/28/us-wiki…

where wikileaks has leaked US cables that show that the Saudi royalty is acting, well, like royalty and sponging off the masses. The timing on this is getting suspicious. Remember that the Tunisian revolt was started in part by some wikileaks cables too!

I have a suspicion that Julian Assange is long oil.

monkeysamaAlso, I'm long tin-foil hat futures. Fair disclosure and all.
HAH!

In all seriousness, I think Assange is just a wacky guy who's clearing out the closets of governments around the world. He may or may not have money in the game, but he seems to be much more motivated to just publicize government secrets for the sake of it. I don't think he cares what the outcome is, and if he does, he hasn't gone into much detail.

It takes all types I guess....

The idea that he's a super genius who's throwing an international tantrum is somehow scarier than if he were a bond villain with plans for world domination.....
