"The CIA Files" is what Wikileaks has named a host of documents published from CIA director John Brennan's private email account, which include papers on intelligence, documents related to Iran and a form provided for background investigation during Brennan's confirmation, reports The Verge.
The data is presumed to have been taken when a high school student protesting American foreign policy hacked Brennan's account. According to the hacker, he posed as a Verizon employee and managed to convince another employee to reveal Brennan's personal information, as HNGN previously reported.
"The United States has no choice but to find ways to coexist - and to come to terms - with whatever government holds power in Tehran. Tehran's ability to advance its political and economic interests rests on a non-hostile relationship with the United States and the West," wrote Brennan in a three-page, post-election memo, allegedly written to Obama, giving suggestions on how to deal with Iran, according to the leaked documents, reports Daily News and Analysis.
"The Brennan family is the victim. This attack is something that could happen to anyone and should be condemned, not promoted. There is no indication that any the documents released thus far are classified. In fact, they appear to be documents that a private citizen with national security interests and expertise would be expected to possess," the CIA has allegedly said, calling the postings a "crime," reports Fox News.
