In between the world wars, the US had a color-coded contingency plan for a general war with and against just about every possible combination of major power, along with Canada and Mexico.
As war drew closer, these were synthesized into the most likely "rainbow plans"--a play on the colors used in the previously established contingencies against individual nations. We ended up implementing portions of several of them (Rainbow 5, War Plan Orange, War Plan Black, War Plan Indigo, etc.)
Interestingly, our most 'accurate' two-front contingency actually contemplated war against Japan and Britain. We of course later subbed out Germany/Italy for the Brits in that one.
You think having war plans is the same as what the CIA was proposing here? They wanted to kill a man because he made them look stupid

No, and I didn’t say that it was. I simply made the observation that today’s media would use similar faux-outrage in that situation.

Nowhere does the article stated that anyone “wanted” to do so. They had a plan to do so. They have plans to do just about everything imaginable. Or at least I hope they do.
