The Rise Of The Intelligence Analyst

U.S. Air Force

New York Times: C.I.A. Officers and F.B.I. Agents, Meet Your New Partner: The Analyst

Call it the revenge of the nerds, Washington-style. The gun-toting F.B.I. agent and the swashbuckling C.I.A. undercover officer are being increasingly called upon to share their clout, their budgets and even their Hollywood glamour with the humble, deskbound intelligence analyst.

As the two agencies confront an evolving terrorist threat, cyberattacks and other challenges, both are reorganizing in ways intended to empower analysts. That involves the delicate job of meshing the very different cultures of the streetwise agent and the brainy analyst, who reads secret dispatches, pores over intercepted communications, absorbs news media accounts and digests it all.

WNU Editor: This is the information age .... and those who can analyze and interpret this information into usable results .... they are probably the most coveted of all employees within the intelligence community.
