#1 The CIA has a bigger problem.
The Central Intelligence Agency is once again mired in crisis. CIA Director John Brennan finds himself “deeply concerned.” The spy agency he runs suffers from an affliction that he says has “persisted despite repeated efforts by Agency leaders to address it.”

What is ailing this vital guardian of national security? The CIA’s upper echelon, Mr. Brennan said on Tuesday, does “not reflect the diversity of the Agency workforce or of the nation.”

Mr. Brennan was commenting on the “Director’s Diversity in Leadership Study,” an unclassified report released that day. The study comes to the “unequivocal conclusion,” he said in a statement, that there has been a major failure at the agency in the “crucial” area of diversity and inclusiveness. . . .

The report is unsparing. Senior positions at the “highest levels of the CIA” are “consistently occupied by white male career officers.” While minority officers make up 23.9% of the CIA workforce, the higher echelons of the CIA don’t come close to that number. For example, the Senior Intelligence Service, the crème de la crème of the spy agency’s personnel, manages only a 10.8% minority composition. Spies with disabilities and LGBT spies, according to the report, are no better represented in the CIA’s upper leadership, though women are generally faring well.

#2 Gays and Transvestites as spies?

Might work given some of the odd sexual appetites of some foreign operatives and diplomats.

I guess now that we are all throwing the closet out in the street and being gay is supposedly de-stigmatized, and that means blackmailing a high ranking official into cooperating has gone bye bye...NOT

#3 ...It's been my experience that when a business becomes incapable of performing its core functions, the restructuring merry-go-round starts. Sometimes they can, with immense luck, land on the right combination of ideas and capabilities.

Most of the time they're rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

And if we get hit this weekend, I hope and pray that when the CIA says, "We never saw this coming," someone has the courage to hold up that report about not-enough-GLBT-agents and say, "Yeah. We know."
