Kidnapping, assassination and a London shoot-out: Inside the CIA's secret war plans against WikiLeaks — Zach Dorfman, Sean D. Naylor and Michael Isikoff

CIA vs. Wikileaks and specifically, Julian Assange. Longish but fascinating account. Amazing how many resources the CIA burned though in a revenge operations. much of which was illegal and potentially dangerous with respect to foreign policy. Quite scary, actually, when Wikileaks and Assange were reporting the facts. In addition, it further undermines trust in the US government when added to many other accounts of CIA operations that go well beyond intelligence.
