WikiLeaks revelations put CIA on back foot

WASHINGTON: Another major leak of top secret materials has again put America’s top spies in hot water -- while delivering a coup for anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks.

The group left the Central Intelligence Agency heavily bruised with the publication Tuesday of nearly 9,000 documents it said were only part of a huge trove of records, plans and malware code in its possession -- purportedly the entire CIA hacking arsenal.
