If this information is so important to keep secret why would the CIA or any government US agency have this hacked and released? It wouldn't serve there best interest. Unless this information is a distraction to something more sinister at work or to hide.

The CIA/US are neither omniscient nor omnipotent.

4chan is best described as organized anarchy, which is a contradiction in terms in and of itself.

Well, since Wikileaks does not care about who they hurt or the harms they cause, why should I care what happens to their server.

As far as I am concerned, the entire wikileak server can catch fire.

Assange is a child playing a dangerous game.
