Yeah, some anti-gay right wing outfit did exactly that for Nader in 2004... and Nader's defense -- he was debating Howard Dean on NPR at the time -- was that Right wing Republicans have as much right as progressives to support good policy!!!
Re Wikileaks as a project of the CIA, I don't see it... and neutralizing Assange would be unacceptable to too many (Where's Jack Ruby when ya really need him, huh??) It's easy to start imagining things, tho'... e g wondering if the package from Yemen was a plant, either from Israel to get sympathy, or from the Obama camp to make him and the Dems look good before the election (in which case, I hope it works). --Jenifer

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.
