Editorial comments:

The CIA's document release programme is explained here. The "National Intelligence Daily" was a digest of intelligence in newspaper form, circulated to senior policy-makers. The "National Intelligence Daily (Cable)" had a slightly wider, but still tightly restricted, circulation. For a fuller account see this internal CIA history of "How we got into the newspaper business".
