Regarding your first point, classified CIA documents don't usually get released to the public until decades after they were made. After all, the Soviet Union also didn't exist in 2007 and the quote is using the present tense.
To your second point, that's a can of worms I'm too tired to go into, but someone else here might take you up on that.
Libs really struggle with this concept. I have no idea why. I guess because it brings their cognitive dissonance to the forefront and they can't ignore it anymore. It's especially sad with "leftist" libs who will understand the US and their alphabet agencies are bad, but will still uncritically accept everything they tell them about socialist countries.

Edit:
The document itself is from the 1970s, it was declassified in 2007. You can read more about Stalin's purposeful starvation to supress opposition here.
