Assange forced the release of the names of Afghan civilians over the objections of the Pentagon, several human rights groups, and those working with him. That was one of the causes of the split with Wikileaks by major members of his staff. He had a deadline to meet with a magazine he gave exclusive rights to. From what is now being said, he has sanitized it afterwards.... too late for anything, except to cover his tracks.
There will be no new dimension in the release of classified documents. There will be a revetting those who handle classified documents, the increased compartmentalization of access, and the policies/laws regarding compromising those documents. It could be draconian, but it will be thorough.
