IT at the CIA 314
neocon writes "The current issue of the CIA's Studies in Intelligence (unclassified edition, natch) has
an article on the state
of IT within the CIA, titled 'Failing to Keep Up With the Information Revolution', which
looks at how the agency has fared in staying up to date both with information security needs
and with promising new technologies."

It's nice to know the CIA has lots of people who just sit at desks and do boring stuff and spend their time trying to find pesky documents. I was afraid they *all* spent their time ferrying cocaine around southeast asia and creating military dictatorships.
Sounds like they need to buy some nice commodity content-management and data mining software and a timesheet system. It's so cosy!

new hire at CIA! (Score:2, Funny)
Jayson Blair is CIA's newest hire. He comes from liberal, yet shrewd and intelligent NY Times where he was a "hands-on" reporter("All the News That's Fit to Print")
George Tenet personally welcomed Jayson and introduced him as ~The man who will cut CIA's travel budget in half and will bring honesty, diversity and precision to our organization~
George also mentioned that he came across Jayson's resume on dice.com; (leading online provider of online recruiting services for technology professionals) Blair's resume was simply stellar~ said Tenet, ~With his experience and skills he should be twice as old!~
