Isn't the name supposed to reflect the general wiki concept of "anyone can contribute content"? If more people submit US leaks then that's what their coverage will consist of. It's just like how wikipedia covers obscure comic book characters much more thoroughly than it covers the history of Uzbek domination under the Persians.

It's largely a historical accident now, somewhat like "National Biscuit Co." (Nabisco) or "American Telephone and Telegraph".
"WikiLeaks was originally established with a "wiki" communal publication method, which was terminated by May 2010.[34] Original volunteers and founders were once described as a mixture of Asian dissidents, journalists, mathematicians, and start-up company technologists from the United States, Taiwan, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.[35] As of June 2009, the website had more than 1,200 registered volunteers.[35][36][37]"
