They'll have to raise pay to attract better than they've got.

[Atlantic Friend]

This is a definite step in the right direction. Electronic intelligence is great, but nothing can replace actual human intelligence, human assets, whether they are honorable correspondants or plain agents ran by your intelligence services.

Bush Orders the CIA To Hire More Spies

If I was a spy, I would advertise it in the newspaper to get chicks.

[FlipWilson]

I am bored with my current job. I wonder if I could get into the CIA? Anyone know the requirements?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Well, the first thing Bush should ask Goss to do is eliminate the requirement that one must have a bachelor's degree to get in. Second, it's best to hire people on the fringe again. Intelligence used to be a dirty job done by street-saavy people who didn't have nothing to lose. Now it's done by by-the-book schmucks who are more interested in a career than getting their hands dirty.

FYI

[Cicero]

We have a young family friend who wanted to join the CIA. He was turned down, probably because he's a straight arrow, I suspect.

I hope that before they start hiring Porter Goss does a thorough cleanout of the hiring committee. Otherwise it will be business as usual, which is to say they will hire clones of themselves, more Ivy League liberals.

Good move by Bush....again.
