Of course it would be very difficult and dangerous for anyone to release classified information... so there is a fine line about what can be released, told, written about.

A lawyer for FBI whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds said Tuesday the bureau’s prepublication review office has adopted overly expansive restrictions that are preventing Edmonds from publishing a book about her life at the FBI.

A member of a group of former intelligence professionals that has rallied behind WikiLeaks suggested in a recent interview with Raw Story that the world would be a different and better place had the online secrets outlet come into existence years sooner.

Rowley’s support for WikiLeaks stems from its function as an outlet for potential whistle-blowers in the national intelligence section of the federal government who have no avenue to share information without fear of reprisal. Currently, there is no federal law protecting those who would reveal illegalities like fraud, waste, abuse or threats to public safety.
On the point as to whether WikiLeaks has saved lives, Rowley said that it was too early to tell either way. But, she said the site has still filled a necessary role at a time where traditional lines of communication have fallen into disrepair.

While temporary secrecy is necessary and helpful during criminal investigations, Rowley argued, too much secrecy can do much more harm. Dzakovic, for example, found that during an investigation of airport security, his “Red Team” was able to smuggle weapons onto airplanes on 90 percent of their attempts.
“Red Team’s” report was ignored and suppressed, Rowley said, ultimately leading airlines to dismiss as too expensive the bolts that could have prevented would-be terrorists from opening a cockpit door.
You have the right to remain silent but is that really a good idea?
But now you are shifting it from "made it happen" to "let it happen". A vastly different scale of conspiracy. My point about the lack of whistleblowers was about "made it happen", not the weak form of "let it happen" (or just plain old "covering up incompetence") your examples suggest.
You can release anything you like if you don't care about the consequences. Like if you are terminally ill, suicidal, or just a bit crazy. Or even, as many people are, a person of principle.
If the 9/11 attacks were executed by the US Government, it would require the eternal silence of tens of thousands of people.
