Uhm, being as it's written by a comedian and is grouped under "Comedy News", I'd have to say it's an "Onion-esque" news piece (aka, fake)

Just some marketing to create traffic on the guy's blog... still funny though.

While the article wasn't serious, the CIA actually did form the WikiLeaks Task Force, or ***. No word on whether or not the name was intentional.
