From the OSS' 1944 Simple Sabotage Field Manual:

> Bureaucratic Delay: Insist on adhering strictly to formal procedures, requiring multiple approvals for tasks, and making all requests go through official channels.

> Meeting Manipulation: Prolong meetings by making long speeches, referring all matters to committees, bringing up irrelevant issues, and constantly questioning previous decisions.

> Communication Delays: Use long, convoluted language and haggle over the precise wording of communications to slow down understanding and action.

Oh, the irony
