Abstract

The American Central Intelligence Agency relies in performing its work tasks on recruiting local and international agents to work as recruited agents to serve American policy. Most of these recruits may not be aware of the information and documents related to the grand strategy of foreign policy paths, because that policy has multiple patterns and variables, and each case has a different picture in terms of orientations and determinants, and that the interpretation of the issue of intelligence intervention in the events of the coup of November 4, 1964 came for political reasons related to redrawing diplomatic relations that harmonize the goals of the American administration in various political, economic and military fields.

Most of the CIA employees worked as seconded employees at US diplomatic missions under government cover, so that they could access information related to the objectives of secret intelligence work. This gave the agency’s employees a great opportunity to work in any country, although there are official jobs for agency employees within embassies, such as supervising the organization of cooperation in the matter of providing aid, rehabilitating and developing the leadership of the military forces of friendly or cooperating countries with the US administration, or analyzing the risks of political and economic crises on American interests. On the other hand, the intelligence agency considers the process of collecting information through its agents to be unofficial, but rather dependent on illegal espionage strategies.
