This.

Dumbledore was terrified of being assigned a post of power because he didn't believe he could handle power responsible. I think he was right to be afraid. He does not handle power well.

How many people were hurt, mutilated, killed, and god knows what else at Hogwarts because he didn't intervene, or because he had some SUPER IMPORTANT PLAN GOING ON and he couldn't be half-assed to get better teachers or to implement better discipline or because he didn't trust his staff with pertinent information? He took serious gambles on Harry's decisions and that could have misfired horribly.

And I don't mean discipline just the Slytherins; the main trio did very stupid, hurtful things and they kept on doing them because they were never properly disciplined and they thought that "as long as I'm right anything goes, right?", just like Dumbles did.

And all of this because Dumbledore believed himself to be right and to know more than everyone else. There are moments in canon when you can see how Dumbledore goes "oh shit, I misjudged something, I screwed up, what can I do, maybe I shouldn't be keeping all this secre- oh wait, Harry's awesome dumb luck kicked in again and saved the day! Never mind, then!"

Yep. I would also add that neither Assange nor Skeeter have any obligation to keep other people's secrets.
