Who's the enemy? The people? Any serious enemy already has this information.

You are right. A serious enemy would have this information. You can be sure during the Cold War the USSR had a list just like this on us, and we had a list just like this on them. And we pointed the nukes at each place on that list. I would wager a couple countries still keep a list like this.
The terrorists are not like that. They don't have the resources. But they do have the means to blow people up and kill in the dozens or hundreds at a time (and on 9/11, thousands at a time).
If you worked in one of those oil refineries in Qatar that yesterday wasn't a a terrorist target, but today is, would you be happy about Wikileaks? Most of these are far from obvious to laymen, which most of the terrorists are.

Believe me, people working at those facilities already have very good level of security, both at home and work.

Religious fundamentalists with paramilitary inclinations, I may not be a fan of the US, but I am even less a fan of this bloc.
A) War is bad.
B) The war in Iraq is particularly bad
C) So let's provide intel to the enemy in order to make the war even worse for the US, potentially killing many innocent foreign workers or friendly bureaucrats in the process?
You lost me at C.
