Half way thru the document – Interesting read, with some propaganda
The Myth of Delusion
Open Source – The Fourth Rail
Link to the 152 page pdf. Document are on the page.
A window on al-Qaeda's views of U.S. Intelligence Agencies and Counterterrorism efforts. .
An al-Qaeda document called The Myth of Delusion has been released on the Internet and also distributed via a jihadi email list. This 152 page document, written in both English and Arabic, is an attempt at an analytical look at how the U.S. intelligence agencies – the CIA, NSA and FBI, as well as military and other governmental intelligence agencies – are structured and how they operate inside the United States, in the Middle East and beyond. The document examines the structure of the agencies, how operatives are recruited, the tools of the intelligence trade, “dirty” operations, international operations, a look at the 9-11 attack and the CIA's intelligence on al-Qaeda, “internal conflicts” in the intelligence agencies, and the agencies plans for confronting the jihadis.
The Myth of Delusion contains accurate information on the various U.S. agencies, some of it of a sensitive nature. But it is seeded with a host of conspiracy theories, evidence that jihadi groups are unable to exercise critical judgment on the information it obtains. At times it is difficult to know if the document is a critical look at U.S. intelligence agencies or a propaganda and recruiting tool.
