It's both a target list, and a list of people who would be useful to impersonate in spear phishing attacks.

People open attachments and click URLs when they appear to come from TS cleared people.

No the worst possibility is an undercover Officer gets blown and ends up staring in the latest Al Quaida "happy decapitation videos" series
But lets not over estimate the probability of the worst scenario. And lets not take action based on that overweighted probability.
Depends if your a non-avowed CIA officer in a dodgy part of the world or not.

I am sure vilerats and the other "state" officers killed in begazi familys might have appreciated a bitmore worse case planning.
