Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) is a type of classified information.
The United States government has three normal levels of classification, confidential, secret, and top secret. Classified information can only be provided to someone with a security clearance the same level as the classification level of the information, and even then, only on a "need-to-know" basis. However, on certain especially secret projects, relevant information can be classified as Sensitive Compartmented Information, requiring a specific security clearance to access that information. For instance, the Atomic Energy Commission provided an SCI clearance in the 1950's to personnel working with nuclear technology.

If Israel has already traded this information away, or used it in its covert campaign in Iraq to lead to civil war, it would explain why the Americans seem completely to lack intelligence in Iran, and seem to have no effective counterintelligence operations in Iraq.
