These requirements for pairing and that everyone working in sensitive intelligence work will now have to spy and tattle on their fellow workers is interesting in that it includes the Peace Corps in the directive. Peace Corps being added to the list of organizations that have to spy on each other for disclosure of classified information is interesting since in 1996 the white house announced that the CIA had not been using the Peace Corp for spying for over 20 years. Currently the Peace Corps requires applicants to promise they have never worked for the CIA. Not the NSA though, other intelligence agencies, or subcontractors of the CIA. Just directly for the CIA.

Peace Corps being a front for US military and intelligence operations has been called a myth, but including them in this directive about classified information is going to smash the claim this is really a myth.
