Alas, the style manual has gone back under wraps. Or at least, I can't find it online. But there is a description here: http://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2014/jul/09/cia-writers-guide-leaked-online

If that description is accurate, I'm inclined to agree with Geoffrey.  For example,  "British spellings must be Americanised even when they occur in a proper noun. Thus the CIA would only talk about the "Labor Party", should they ever have anything to say about them."  wha?

Beth
