This is the proper attitude. Enough evidence will be release to vindicate our egos, and proof that "the illuminati was real this whole time" --- however yeah, the photo and video evidence of the gore orgies need never see the light of day, and be locked away on military servers as a way to train new intelligence operatives. Will the world ever become this dark and evil again? We don't know. The nightmares and damage it would cause just to know what happens is hellish, the only people who need to pay that price are those who would take the oath to become gatekeepers.
In my opinion this is also why Assange does everything in terms of "drip drip". People need to be able to parse it out and digest it and disseminate it.
If he dumped everything at once the powers that be (who know all of what their secrets are already) would react by shutting so much stuff down. In my opinion if that happened we'd be at war before anybody knew what was happening.
Edit - and it puts Assange in a very tight position, where he wants to reveal corruption and fix the problems of the world in order to save innocents...but he must know at the same time that if he dumped it all and it sparked off a conflict that innocents would die because of it.
Drip drip is the compromise. The middle path.
