| Hayden Arrival Signals Divide in CIA Functions |
| 2006-05-22 |
| If, as seems likely, General Michael Hayden is confirmed as director of central intelligence, his arrival could signal a separation of the CIA's intelligence gathering and analytical functions. The CIA traditionally has been divided into the Directorate of Operations - now known as the National Clandestine Service - which collects human intelligence, and the Directorate of Intelligence, which oversees analysis for the entire community...

| #2 Been telling you guys they needed to chunk Analysis into its own department and Ops into its own - how long I been hammering this nail? Glad the press is finally catching a clue. And if some folks here on the web who think like that go quiet for a while, you'll know they called in some grey hairs to help out. ;-) |

| #1 Works for me. First, put everybody at CIA on the polygraph, all at once. Fire anybody who fails. Then, give the remaining analysts to Negroponte's group. Then, fire everybody in the clandestine service above a certain arbitrary GS level. Then, remove all but a few from diplomatic cover and put them under commercial and NGO cover. Then, give NRO to the Air Force and bring in the Corps of Engineers to demolish Langley and build a park there or something. And that's just for starters. |
