I can't think of a better way of calling attention to it. Had it been released through "normal" channels, the mainstream media would have buried it entirely.

You're 100% correct in your assesment of the mainstream media treatment of the information. The only way to get the information out there was to leak it from the CIA. The Democrats have treating the war issue the same way they used to use information from the Indepenent Council investigation; that is the Democrats were free to make any type of baseless statements or accusations against Republicans because they knew that the truth was sealed by law.
