They have chat logs implicating Assange in aiding Bradley Manning with submitting the documents. The law is pretty clear about these things. We'll just have to wait for his trial.
That isn't the same thing as assisting someone in stealing classified information.
A new theory says Wikileaks is run by the CIA. They essentially collected their own secrets, thus identifying leakers while also exposing corruption among diplomats. They have also attempted to set a pretext for war with Iran and North Korea (since the public would never believe it if our government made claims about missile transfers after losing credibility in Iraq).
If true, then Assange himself would most likely be a British agent since he is an Australian citizen. Agencies often do work together.

why didn't they just encrypt the disks? If it's supposed to be sensitive information, store it securely!
Because that would require common sense and competence.
