An espionage officer in the Central Intelligence Agency says that the agency will have a difficult time filling top positions with experienced
operatives.

Gary Berntsen, a decorated espionage officer who led a paramilitary unit code-named "Jawbreaker" in the war that toppled the Taliban after the September 11, 2001, attacks, said CIA Director Porter Goss faces an uphill battle to fill the agency's senior ranks with aggressive, seasoned operatives.
"He's probably more aggressive than most of the senior officers in the clandestine service. So I think he's having to pull them along a bit," Berntsen said.
"(Goss) is trying to improve the situation. But it's going to be tough. The rebuilding is going to take years. A decade, at least," he told Reuters late last week.

This is scary! We know that the CIA has already had its share of problems, as have the other intelligence agencies. I just hope that Porter Goss does what is necessary to agressively recruit top candidates.
