Sure, they may feel ashamed that it now open to the public, but I just do not believe that the French/German politians did not already know what is said behind their backs.

Your problem is that you think on the aggregate level.
On a collective level they know that the other side thinks some bad things about them. On an individual level they however don't.
Imaging a school. The teacher will know that some of his pupils think badly about him, because that's what pupils do.
If he however gets to read how the pupils write on facebook that he's stupid and ignorant he will change his opinion of the specific pupils who wrote it.

I just cannot imagine that the US thought data from an intranet that is accessible to 2.5 million people will not go public.

It wasn't directly accessible to 2.5 million people. Just because you are cleared to read a document that's secret doesn't mean that someone will give you access to the document.
It just means that people are allowed to show you the document.
It's not like the single pieces of cablegate in themselves contain huge scandals. It's 1000's of little issues.
Together they however provide a picture that US diplomats don't want the world to see.

I bloody hope so, I was privately hoping for some stuff on UFO's being mentioned

Should Wikileaks leak the US military documents about UFO's I suspect that your deer conspiracy community will call it a fake leak just like they call cablegate and the last two megaleaks fake.
Most of the things that go wrong in this world can't be easily boiled down into a single paragraph to cry "Scandal!".

It is downright treason to anyone involved as US citizens.

They created an oath that's about serving the constitution.
In the US it's not treason to act against the interest of your own government if you are acting in the interest of the constitution. The US founding father purposely didn't let soldiers and officials take an oath that's about doing what the president orders.
Given how much the present US government opposes the US constitution with acts like ordering it's own citizens to be killed far away from a battlefield, actions that weaken said government aren't treason to the US constitution.
If anything the oath obliges soldiers to do something against this government.
