Maybe, but I doubt it for a few reasons.
If the leak was intentional why run it through someone who, judging by his "collateral murder" video, was likely to (and ultimately did) go straight to the war crimes trough with it. The government may want to end the war but I don't believe they want to risk tarnishing soldiers to do it.
Also from what I have seen most of the leaks I believe to be intentional only release the smallest amount of information that best reinforce a particular view with as little ambiguity as possible. Releasing close to 100k documents doesn't allow the leaker to control the story and it allows the media to see whatever message they want in the documents.
If what you suggest were the case this administration would be going about it very carelessly.
