Prospective operatives are warned that mandatory medical and polygraph tests for all CIA personnel will root out those who experiment with drugs.
A taste of what awaits those who make it past the tests is given by the Web site's overview of the agency's work.
"There is information that other countries will not share with the US, called secrets," it explains.
"All this information is very important to our nation's leaders," it says.
But when it comes to defining exactly what is meant by intelligence, the language used is coded, and arguably Rumsfeldian -- similar to the opacity of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
"This question is not easy to answer," the site says.
"And depending on who you ask, you may get different answers," it adds.
A CIA spokesman, Tom Crispell, said the Web site was not intended as an intervention in the political debate on climate change.
"The kids' page is designed to put out information about the evils of drugs -- it doesn't take a policy position," he said.
