Interesting article about the CIA

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunitysec com>]

There's 2 CIA articles that are 2 of the top 5 of the most viewed 
articles on washingtonpost.com under "Nation".

None of the articles are as good as the one in the Times today by 
Douglas Jehl, although both are similar. I have to assume the Post and 
the Times' reporters have the same contacts inside the Agency. I think 
Jehl is closer to the sources however, based on his article.

Here is the article from today: (cypherp, cypherp)

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/11/14/politics/14cia.html?oref=login

This article is both interesting for its subject and for its management 
perspectives and notes on how to change a large organization, or how not 
to, as the case may be. Government by "mandate" clearly isn't working in 
this case, and I can't imagine someone confidently facing the CIA's 
upper echelon with politicking. I have a feeling Goss is learning new 
meaning for the term "topping from the bottom."

My analysis says that Mr. Knappes or one of his close friends/aides is 
actually one of the sources. Who else would know about his personal 
pictures being taken down?
