Wikileaks itself????

what does the last sentence mean? thanks
What if the crucial ideological and political battle is going on within WikiLeaks itself: between the radical act of publishing secret state documents and the way this act has been reinscribed into the hegemonic ideologico-political field by, among others, WikiLeaks itself?

Itself is the reflexive pronoun for the 3rd-person singular, which is also used also for emphasis. John isn't going to the party that he, himself, organized. [ use of commas can be questioned ] There is nothing wrong with the use of alcohol itself, just when it is abused.
