Wouldn’t the CIA first ask if you needed it to be or not be enemy action?

Sure, if you come to the CIA with "we need you to fake a report", they'll likely fake a report. In that scenario, though, I strongly suspect the 95% reconstructed fuselage wouldn't have been permitted to be a NTSB training aid for two decades afterwards.

How many other air remains had such done to it? 25 years seems a long time.

MH17 was similarly reconstructed.

Modern laser scanning makes retaining the original long-term less important, apparently.
