I wonder if the number of people killed as a result of the leaked intel exceeds 0. I do know that the number of people killed by the US that Wikileaks revealed does exceed 0. Therefore I think you'd better change the issue into:
there are those who think him a hero because he exposed national secrets.
and there are those who consider him a criminal because he exposed national secrets.

the problem with the concentration camp comment is that he was NOT performing the good deed of exposing the United States as having massive camps in which they were killing Blacks, Jews, Illegal Immigrants, handicapped and mentally deficient people.

You make a valid point here.
But he DID expose the US as having killed innocent people (UAV incident anyone?)

he WAS exposing vital and important information to the our enemies.

I wonder how vital and important most of the revealed information really is in the hands of the enemy.
