The e-mails include Brennan'sSF86, a form that he had to fill out to get his current position and security clearance. The form, from 2008, "reveals a quite comprehensive social graph of the current Director of the CIA with a lot of additional non-governmental and professional/military career details," according to WikiLeaks' description of the document.

The published materials also include Brennan'srecommendations to the US President about how to manage affairs related to Iran anda letter from Senator Kit Bond, vice-chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, that details how to "make future interrogation methods 'compliant' and 'legal,'" WikiLeaks states.

CWAalso claimed to have breached an e-mail account belonging to Jeh Johnson, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Officials told The New York Times that Johnson didn't actively use that account, which may have come as part of a Comcast cable package.

The Times further reported that there isnothing "classified or hip" in Brennan's AOL account, and it dates to the days when he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.However, if accurate, the material is at least sensitive, given that the SF86 formdiscloses contact information for Brennan'srelatives and professionalconnections.

The files published earlier by the hackerinclude a spreadsheet with contact information for high-levelgovernment employees, which appears to be some kind of access list for an event.CWAsaid he accessedBrennan's account by tricking Verizon employees into giving out his personal information.
