How to sabotage corporations

Via Slashdot, I found this article about the internal use of wikis in the CIA and other intelligence organizations.  The article is standard “Web 2.0 is totally changing everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” filler, but includes the following wonderful quote:

Intellipedia includes instructions from a 1944 CIA field manual for sabotaging companies. The manual suggests that agents encourage companies to use channels to make decisions, and when possible refer matters to committees for further study and consideration. Companies will face further strife when spies within encourage haggling over the precise wording of communications.
