Just because it is classified does not mean that reveling it would have an impact on U.S. national security.

However, it has no impact on the overall National Security of the U.S.
The fact that he is a PFC. means nothing either everyone in the military has the equivalent of a secret clearance it does not mean they have access to anything of importance though. It is just poor journalism and over excitement by Wikileaks in thinking, they have something valuable because it is stamped classified.
