QUESTION: CIA in Nicaragua

Submitted by bethd on Sun, 12/31/2006 - 7:10pm.
question / pregunta: 

This site makes reference to a "CIA Sabotage Manual": http://www.flickr.com/photos/mickie/sets/983397/. The manual was supposed to have been created and distributed during the 1980s. I'd like to find out if the document is real or fictitious. If real, I'd like to read up on its history and use. Also, I'd like to find any other illustrated "manuals" of this sort (used for political purpose, i.e., propaganda) that might exist.

The manual:

Lexis Academic gets 25 hits for full text search, past 6 months: ammunition and falcon, and 8 hits for: base falcon, but the articles mentioning the October 10 mortar attack all say "no reports of casualties".
