The whistleblower organization Wikileaks has a document classified CIA to ask what would happen if foreign countries began to see the U.S. as an “exporter of terrorism”.

The document was prepared by the CIA “red cell”, a unit responsible for preparing the analysis papers adversarial perspective.

It notes that some Americans have traveled overseas to commit violent acts, like David Headley, the Pakistani-American man who helped the attackers Mumbai in 2008, Baruch Goldstein, the Jewish extremist who killed dozens of Palestinians slain in Hebron in 1994.

American citizens also provide “financial and material support” to armed groups in Northern Ireland: For example, a large part of the financing of the Irish Republican Army, came from Irish-Americans.

“Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. export of terrorism or terrorists is not a recent phenomenon,” the report said.

“Neither is associated with Islamic radicals or people of the Middle East, Africa or South Asian ethnic origin.”

The CIA concluded that foreign governments would be less likely to cooperate with the U.S. in detention, exchange information, and other issues.

“If the U.S. were seen as an exporter of terrorism, foreign partners may be less willing to cooperate with the United States on extrajudicial activities,” says the report.

George Little, a CIA spokesman said in a statement that the document is a piece of mind – one of many prepared by the agency.

“This kind of analytical products clearly identified as coming from the agency red” cell “, are designed simply to provoke thought and present different viewpoints,” he said.

Wikileaks has released dozens of holes over the years, but received special attention last month when more than 75,000 classified U.S. military documents about the war in Afghanistan announced. They promised to release another 15,000 in the coming weeks.

Wikileaks was heavily criticized by the U.S. government for endangering the lives of Afghan informants and others who work with the U.S. military.

In a separate development, Swedish chief prosecutor said she will continue to investigate an allegation of molestation against Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks.
