The agency says it is correcting the record after determining multiple intelligence products fell short of impartial standards, amid broader scrutiny of past federal actions involving parents, Catholics, and the Trump-Russia probe.

The Central Intelligence Agency announced Friday that it is retracting or revising 19 intelligence reports produced between 2015 and 2023, a move agency leadership described as a corrective action to reinforce analytic objectivity.

The decision follows a review of past intelligence products and was detailed in aJust the News report. According to the agency, the reports spanned the Obama administration, President Donald Trump’s first term, and the Biden administration.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe said the products did not meet the agency’s standards. “The intelligence products we released to the American people today — produced before my tenure as DCIA — fall short of the high standards of impartiality that CIA must uphold and do not reflect the expertise for which our analysts are renowned,” Ratcliffe said Friday in a statement availablehere. “There is absolutely no room for bias in our work and when we identify instances where analytic rigor has been compromised, we have a responsibility to correct the record.”

A senior CIA official told Just the News, in a separatereport, “There is absolutely no room for bias in any kind of the CIA’s work. So when we find instances where our tradecraft did not reach that high bar of impartiality, we must correct the record. And that’s why we’re taking steps to reinforce analytic integrity by ordering the public release, substantive revision or retraction of these products that do not meet CIA’s tradecraft standards.”

Of the 19 reports, 17 were permanently deleted and two were revised and reissued, the official said.

One retracted product from October 2021, titled “Women Advancing White Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremist Radicalization and Recruitment,” was produced under the CIA’s Counterterrorism Mission Center and is availablehere. That assessment cited a 2021 article from “An Injustice!” hosted on Medium, availablehere.

Another rescinded product from July 2020, part of the CIA’s World Intelligence Review (WIRe), was titled “Worldwide: Pandemic-Related Contraceptive Shortfalls Threaten Economic Development” and is availablehere.
