Added - 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage
In February 2023, Hersh reported that the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines had been carried out by the US Navy, the CIA, and the Norwegian Navy, under the direct order of President Biden. Hersh's report relied on an anonymous source who stated that, in June 2022, US Navy divers placed explosive C4 charges on the pipelines at strategic locations selected by the Norwegians. The source said that charges were placed under the cover of a multi-nation wargame simulation known as BALTOPS 22, and remotely detonated three months later by a signal from a sonar buoy dropped by a Norwegian P-8 surveillance plane.[1][2]

- It appears I am in an edit war with an admin over including this.
- CIA, FBI computers used for Wikipedia edits AUGUST 17, 2007 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia-idUSN1642896020070816 I am certain it is now contracted out, per the many leaks. Is this admin part of some organization. No. I did not say this. I am saying that I am in a edit war with an admin. Onlyforwikiapps (talk) 02:02, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, you're edit-warring to insert credulously-phrased and undue fringe speculation, which has no place here. And stop with the silly "is this admin part of some organization" nonsense. Read WP:ONUS, and stop loading up edit summaries with the text. Acroterion (talk) 02:10, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Expanding the controversies section
I think the controversies section on the article should be expanded. There was a template put up asking for expansion back in 2021. I was not sure how to go about expanding it, perhaps a bullet point summary of some of the more common controversies? I was originally going to implement that, however I did not want to do something without bringing attention to it here. Not0nshoree (talk) 14:33, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

John Kiriakou and the CIA removing Abu Zubaydah's left eye
Integrated into the article:
John Kiriakou is a former CIA counterterrorism officer who was the only CIA officer sentenced in the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. Kiriakou was sentenced to 2 years prison for exposing the CIA's enhanced interrogation program. While in CIA custody, Zubaydah previously damaged left eye was surgically removed.[1][2]

- This seems unrelated to the context where you placed it in the article. What's the point? Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I note that this source asserts that Kiriakou was sentenced to 30 months in prison for leaking the name of a former CIA officer alleged to have taken part in waterboarding. That's not quite that same thing you describe as "exposing the CIA's enhanced interrogation program", but I haven't seen the source you cite. There's a bit more detail here, but I'm not completely clear on what information besides that agent's name he was charged with and convicted of improperly disclosing. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 04:02, 3 June 2024 (UTC)\
- The discrepancies mentioned above about what he was convicted of are explained between the 11 minute and the 15 minute points of this video. I'm removing the paragraph you inserted. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 06:20, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

Please add Central Intelligence Group to immediate predecessors
CIG was only around for about a year, but it still indeed is the agency that came before CIA, and from my perspective the declassified documents provide some great bedtime reading. CIG did a lot of very important work in that year they were active. Please list CIG above OSS.
It would also be super dope to see some CIA peeps go in and add some edits to CIG as well - ESPECIALLY A SEAL OR A LOGO. I've FOIA'd CIA for any such logo but we all know how friggin long that takes. I'll let you know if they get back to me before we colonize Mars or whatever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guylaen (talk • contribs) 16:59, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
