It's not a baseless threat. Security clearances do not just disappear because classified information has been made public. Security classification is a government process/label, and applies until it is removed.

The key issue is that a person with a security clearance cannot knowingly distribute information that he knows carries a security classification. It's not a matter of "being interested."

You can rant all you want, but that does not change the fact that if you have/want a security clearance and you redistribute the Wikileaks content (the American stuff; the foreign stuff is okay), you will lose or be denied a security clearance.
