Exactly right. Using the documents themselves prior to secondary analysis is a WP:PSTS problem in the first place. Once secondary sources have analyzed them, the sourcing problem will be resolved, and any secrecy concern will be even more moot than it is already.

We might suppress a leak made directly into Wikipedia, for example information about a troop movement, but once something has been published on a thousand mirrors there is little point. I don't think links on Wikipedia to documents which remain classified is a good idea. The disclosed primary documents will come under intense analysis in reliable sources; those analyses are notable and properly included in Wikipedia despite their source in classified primary documents. Copying a list of potential military targets from a classified document would seem out of bounds unless a source generally considered reliable has widely distributed the list.
