WikiLeaks is like memory leaks. The effort is on to expose government secrets concerning highly controversial issues so that the decision making processes the secrets are part of cannot be used, without compromising the processes. The goal is by impeding those processes, the conspiracies and its processes will run inefficiently and openly, such that everyone can understand and deal with them.
The impact of the leaks appears to be minor, despite the publicity. There remains the need for more leakers for the effort to succeed, and much more press emphasis.
The government response would be to reduce leaks, coverage of the leak's contents and attempting to contain the leaks and the damage they do. They may also decide to move ahead faster with their plans.
At the end of the day, it is up to society as a whole to react appropriately to the leaks, because no amount of secret information and press can change anything on its own.

Make sure you keep yourself informed with the latest updates to the leak. What I find the most interesting are the government's and politicians reactions to the leak, showing just how much they want to keep things secret.
This might turn into a cyber backlash/"revolt", so we really are witnessing history.
It's not just the government. The fact that many big companies are rapidly withdrawing support for wikileaks smells of conspiracy, as if driven by a common, unseen force.
The cyber backlash better turn into a case of majority rule, or else it can further desensitize most people's minds.
At the end of the day, it's what the public will respond that is the whole point. They can show all the documents for future military operations and the public can and will still not give a damn.
The main issue is a mental one, surrounding the public unconscious with its massive groupthinking phenomena, which lead to undesirable consequences for everyone, despite of those who try to change course.
