 MCF: KUBARK CIA Torture Manual
Once it is established that the source is probably a counterintelligence target (in other words, is probably a member of a foreign intelligence or security service, a Communist, or a part of any other group engaged in clandestine activity directed against the national security), the interrogation is planned and conducted accordingly.
If there is reason to suspect that a withholding source possesses useful counterintelligence information but has not had access to the upper reaches of the target organizations, the policy and command level, continued questioning about lofty topics that the source knows nothing about may pave the way for the extraction of information at lower levels.
For example, it may be used as an adjunct in testing the range of languages spoken by an interrogatee or his sophistication in intelligence matters, for rapid screening to determine broad areas of knowledgeability, and as an aid in the psychological assessment of sources.

Counterintelligence produces some of the most confusing (dis)information in the world, and several nations and/or entities play that game well, regularly, by producing a steady stream of patterned denial and deception that is allowed to be intercepted, leaked, or interrogated.
Counterintelligence usually comes in when it is suspected that secrecy is broken - or you've got a leak - and what you need to do is figure out a way to take advantage of that.

The first national U.S. counterintelligence strategy, which President Bush approved on Tuesday, aims to combat intelligence services from countries hungry for U.S. military and nuclear secrets, such as China and Iran, both at home and abroad, counterintelligence officials said.

The strategy marks a departure from a longstanding counterintelligence practice of waiting for foreign-sponsored agents to act against intelligence and law enforcement agencies before responding.
