Something always worth noting is that the CIA for decades has written a metric ton of “white noise” papers.
Ever since during WW2, the British convinced the Germans that “eating carrots” let them see incoming airplanes better when really it was the invention of radar, counter intelligence has involved making up cover bullshit.
So to make it harder for a low level breach to successfully steal real intelligence, the CIA has tons of analysts write thousands of pages of pure bullshit that can be grabbed by an infiltrator and will only waste a foreign intelligence bureau’s time.
This way a hostile agent not only needs to gain access to CIA intelligence, but know enough about their operations to be able to sift the good from the bad to deal any damage.
