U.S. intelligence community, which has 107,035 employees.

[MeshugeMikey]

how does that work out relative to our population?? the math scares me!

[Responsibility2nd]

I wonder how many of those employees are hired just to spy on other employees?

[a fool in paradise]

No Such Agency has a lot of people!

[TexGrill]

How many of those folks work as reporters and editors for the MSM? From what I heard, it’s more than you might expect. I heard there are even a few neoconservative GOPer journalists working for Obama. Hint, see if you can find any GOPer reporters supporting a Syrian War. This is when Obama asks them to step up to the plate.

"BACK TO WORK!"

I think it comes to around 1 spy for every 3000 people in America. That’s a lot of spooks. But, when you add in all the people in the world it comes to around 1 per 70,000. That’s a lot of snooping for one person. However, consider they have access to the most powerful computers in the world and the ratio is still scary.

And all of them KNOW NOTHING about Bengazi.

[George from New England]

The election suggests that out of 300,000,000 people in the U.S. there are only about 145,000,000 with intelligence.

Not much of an intelligence community if we can find out how many employees are actually employed by the intelligence community.

[MeshugeMikey]

they dont appear to have very good security or much in the way of management do they...

[MeshugeMikey]

BINGO!! we have a WINNER! ..

NO not odrama...../s

[MeshugeMikey]

Selective intelligence was never more meaningful! or perhaps better put selective ignorance.

[MeshugeMikey]

I await the data.....on their collective SALARIES

[MeshugeMikey]

Im pondering the great likelihood that the number represented does not adequately represent vast number of spooks thusly employed.

[MeshugeMikey]

mid level spooks?

[GOPJ]

And all of them KNOW NOTHING about Bengazi.

Nothing about the Boston Bombers either - well nothing that stopped the slaughter... and nothing about the Fort Hood wacko... Oh - and the TSA has NOT caught ONE terrorist... not one....

Yep, we're getting our money's worth.

[a fool in paradise]

How many unpaid interns?

[null and void]

On the bright side, they know what you had for dinner...

[MeshugeMikey]

And volunteers from Obamas Citizen Army?
