I learned from Ray McGovern that the CIA is essentially two agencies: operations and analysis. The operations department does all of the black ops, psy ops, coups, etc. Analysis just investigates and tells it like it is, because you need to know what the truth is before you can construct a convincing lie. This document was probably produced by analysis.
Given what we know about the CIA controlling academia it is more accurate that engineering firms are structured like the cia
