A secret CIA review by the Office of Transnational Issues on the use of High-Value Targeting, "in other words, capture and killing of important enemy military targets for the United States", as part of an overall counterinsurgency strategy has been released by WikiLeaks. 

The 18-page study titled, "Making High-Value Targeting Operations an Effective Counterinsurgency Tool", and distributed on June 7, 2009, is labeled as Secret//NOFORN, meaning that it has the second-highest classified categorization considered a 'serious threat to US national security if leaked' and is strictly off limits to foreign nationals.
