From the article:

In CIA-speak, a "Manchurian Candid­ate" is the name given to an unwitting assassin who is mentally "programmed" to kill. The phrase refers to the 1964 movie of the same name starring Frank Sinatra as a brainwashed US prisoner-of-war.

The character referred to was played by Laurence Harvey, not Frank Sinatra. Frank Sinatra played the character who discovered the plot and saved the day, so to speak.
