They both resemble units more than anything else.

For those who aren't aware of it, Civilization: Call To Power includes a
much larger number of "unconventional warfare" units.  Freeciv has only
two, the Diplomat and the Spy.  CTP has those (in weaker form) plus the
Cleric, Lawyer, Corporate Branch, Infector, Eco-Terrorist, and many more.

The "hideous American propaganda material" sounds like a cross between
CTP's Corporate Branch and Televangelist units. :-)
