= Sources and methods

"Sources and methods" seems to be an official <CIA>/<NSA> terminology to talk about the main categories things that whistleblowers were not supposed to whistleblow.

It came to <Ciro Santilli>'s attention in the <Reality (2023 film)> film about <Reality Winner>, and are words she apparently used extensively and which are quoted e.g. at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jul/25/reality-winner-leaked-file-on-russia-election-hacking-because-public-was-being-lied-to

The term is more broadly used however outside of the <NSA>, e.g. it is also present on https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/10/18/the-cias-hypocrisy-on-sources-and-methods/[this website] which talks about the <CIA 2010 covert communication websites> fiasco.
