This will be hard, as in hard AI.
It reminds me of a data mining problem I heard about some years ago. The problem was with letters sent to the offices of politicians. It was easy to tell the topic of a letter -- say, abortion, or the Iraq war -- but it was hard to tell which side of the issue the writer was on. Even key phrases can be misleading, because they can be used by the writer as examples of wrong thinking, or as quotes that are refuted.
If your goal is just to get a guess with a probability one way or another according to some metric, that would be doable, but you will not have a very high accuracy rate.
Why not just have check boxes the users check to confirm that the deal is done? Maybe you're parsing data from a system that doesn't belong to you?
BTW, I'm curious, what is the existing text analyzer you refer to?
