Yea and I wouldn't even conclude these activities to be nefarious. People generally assume any state secrets to be nefarious inherently, but I think that's naive. Project Mockingbird, the Church Committee etc are just samples and associated with propaganda. A lot of that is CIA, which has a terrible record.
For every nefarious or scandal cover-up psyop, there's also a benign preparation of public acceptance for national security efforts (Top Gun re: Iran nuclear reactor bombing etc). Could paint that as MIL/DIA as juxtaposed to CIA.
