Did Moore intend to portray the leaking of the journal as a villainous act?

That's up for the readers to decide, but that retard misses the point. Ozzy's plan is ultimately set to fail. As Manhattan pointed out to him: "nothing ever ends". The diary is presented as that element of inevitability.

What Moore was trying to say tho, is that a couple of men with power shouldn't decide the fate of innocent people. Not with a nuclear war nor by effectively nuking a city to prevent said war. If anything, Rorschach is presented as the escapegoat here, wich is really funny when you consider the metatext sorrounding the book...
