WikiLeaks said Monday that it has begun “publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor.”

One of the points highlighted by the organization was Brennan being mentioned in one of the documents as the one “behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists.”

This March 13, 2015 file photo shows Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan as he speaks at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources,” it read.

WikiLeak said the emails would “reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies.”

Dated between July 2004 and late December 2011, the emails show “Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods,” it added.

WikiLeaks started releasing the CIA director’s private emails after reports emerged that his AOL account had been hacked by a pro-Palestinian US teen that was also interviewed by the American media.

"We have obtained the contents of CIA Chief John Brennan's email account and will be releasing it shortly," the organization said in a tweet Wednesday.

Ironically, one of the documents, left unfinished, was titled "Damaging Leaks of Classified Information."

The pro-Palestinian high-school student, who said Monday that he had been “motivated by opposition to US foreign policy and support for Palestine,” initially released redacted images of data from the CIA chief's account on Social media.
