Ah, nice. CIA doing what they do best: adding fuel to the fire and spreading mistrust

When it comes to rogue nuclear states, having spies is a generally a good thing. Helps us plan for contingencies.

Announcing the intention to spy is probably not a good idea though.

I'd guess they're either advertising to possible dissenters, or sowing distrust.
