By targeting a publisher as if he were an enemy of the state, the CIA has violated US citizens' constitutional right to privacy, as well as attorney-client and medical-patient privileges – not only related to Assange, but potentially to every client and patient who visited the Wikileaks founder. This is a totally absurd government intrusion that reveals the CIA's double standards in accusing Assange of the sorts of violations it routinely utilizes.
Assange is not a journalist, he is a spy leading an intelligence agency that has provided sensitive information to enemies of the US. He doesn't care about national security or about the lives he has put at risk, even having deemed them "collateral damage." Suggesting constitutional rights should protect his un-American and illegal activities is a gross misrepresentation.
