FBI TODAY – Director Robert Mueller • Director since 9-4-01. • Former attorney U.S. Justice Dept. – homicide specialty. • Private practice with specialty of white collar crime investigations. • Former Marine. Bronze Star, Purple Heart.
THE CIA • Current Intelligence looks at day-to-day events. Estimative Intelligence looks at what might be or what might happen. • Warning Intelligence gives notice to our policy makers that something urgent might happen that may require their immediate attention. • Research Intelligence is an in-depth study of an issue. • Scientific and technical intelligence is information on foreign technologies.
CIA – SINCE 9-11 • Executive order authorizing the use of political assassination – direct / indirect methods.
Tools of the CIA • Caltrops - When scattered on roads and runways, the non-reflective caltrops would always land with one of the four spikes in an upright position, disrupting vehicular movement. This particular spike is hollow and can puncture a self-sealing rubber tire.
Tools of the CIA When the Berlin Wall was erected, passing documents between agents in Eastern Europe and the West became nearly impossible. The mail became the primary means of communication, and many agents relied on "microdots" to get messages through. Using a microdot camera -- itself small enough to be used undetected -- an agent could take photographs that could be reduced to a tiny dot. The pinhead-sized piece of film was then glued somewhere in a typewritten letter and sent through the mail undetected . The agent receiving the letter would retrieve the film and put it under a microscope to read the message.
Tools of the CIA • SEISMIC INTRUDER DETECTION DEVICE • Designed to blend in with local terrain. It can detect movement of people, animals, or objects up to 300 meters. The device is powered by three mercury cells and has a built-in dipole antenna and built-in 150 MHz transmitter, which relays the device's findings through coded impulses
Tools of the CIA • The dead drop spike is a concealment device which has been used since the late 1960s to hide money, maps, documents, microfilm, and other items. The spike is waterproof and mildew-proof and can be shoved into the ground or placed in a shallow stream to be retrieved at a later time.
Types of Positions in the CIA • Directorate of Operations (DO), you would like to travel and have a great curiosity about the world and its different cultures. • You would like to work with people from all over the world, be able to adapt to any situation (especially dangerous ones!), be well educated, know other languages, be good at working with lots of different kinds of people, and be courageous, well disciplined, and able to accept anonymity.
Types of Positions in the CIA • The DO officer knows that no matter how good a job he or she has done, most people—including his or her’s family and friends and the public--will never know it.
Positions with the CIA • A person working in the Directorate of Science and Technology (DS&T) likes using his or her creativity.To work beyond the state of the art every day is normal in this directorate. • If you worked here, you would love science or engineering and have the ability to extend your knowledge to new horizons.
Positions with the CIA • Directorate of Intelligence (DI) If you like to write papers, long and short, if you like to put puzzles together, solve mysteries and have the patience to go through a mound of different types of information to do all this, then the Directorate of Intelligence (DI) is for you. • A DI person must have excellent writing and analytical skills. • Moreover, a DI analyst must have the ability and poise to brief an audience of one or many on his or her area of expertise.
Positions with the CIA • Just like in school, a DI analyst sometimes works under a deadline and a lot of pressure. Being late on a report in school may mean losing a grade, but in the Agency the stakes are much higher: the safety of our country and its citizens.
Positions with the CIA • Mission Support Offices (MSO) are the type of places that attract the person who may be a specialist in a field such as an artist or finance officer, or a generalist with many different talents, but either way they are places where people are constantly challenged to try different things. If you are the type of person who likes to learn new things and likes a wide variety of experiences, then you are an MSO person. MSO people can adapt to any situation, anywhere and have the confidence and energy to get the job done.
Director George Tenet • Mr. Tenet holds a B.S.F.S. from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and an M.I.A. from the School of International Affairs at Columbia University • Head of CIA since 1997.
