Look what happens if you speak out against the Iraq war, David Kelly 'killed himself' in a woods and Robin Cook had a 'heart attack' while hill walking.

Spot on. He's angered a lot of powerful people. Simple as that.
In my view, it's not about the content of the documents per se, since from my understanding, most, if not all, of the leaked documents are
way below "top secret" and "secret". Probably most are internal agency documents of little national security value.
Did the documents,
on the whole, reveal any new information that wasn't already publicly known?...
From the various news articles I've read, it doesn't appear the docs are all that revealing - just more of the same ... abuses in Iraq, lack of progress in Afghanistan, more civilians killed than widely reported, etc; more detailed stats stuff, but no real smoking-gun info.
Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if some of the leaks were intentional to see who is leaking what, and presumably psyops too so as to divert attention away from other activities the U.S. government is involved in.
