"Will one result of WikiLeaks' unauthorized data dump of 90,000
classified documents related to the Afghanistan War be reprisals
against Afghans identified in the leaked material as helping NATO?"

I don't know how anyone involved with WikiLeaks can sleep at night
knowing that their actions will likely result in someone's death.
It's immoral and irresponsible.  Just because someone has the smarts
to set up something like WikiLeaks doesn't mean they have the wisdom
to think through the consequences.  This is something newspapers
wrestle with though, so perhaps in the future those involved could
simply ask the NY Times, LA Times, or Washington Post "Would you
publish this?"
