Indeed, the failure (so far) of US Black Ops to kill Assange (perhaps in
the manner of Israeli death squads, as Goldberg suggests) has led to the
speculation in some quarters that Wikileaks is actually a disinformation
project of the CIA, designed to disguise or distract from some even more
nefarious operation.
Most people are utterly naive about such things, not knowing -- &
preferring not to know -- when they are being "played like a fiddle."
Examples closer to home are the recruitment & funding of Green Party
candidates in Colorado by the Republicans in the expectation that they
will draw votes away from the Democrats, & recent reports of similar
tactics by some Democrats in supporting Libertarian & Constitutionalist
Party candidates, with a corresponding expectation.
This gimmick may have worked well in Florida in 2000, but as far as I
know, nothing has been conclusively proved.
