	IX. Clandestine Service
		The Clandestine Service should have a two-star professional military intelligence officer as a Deputy Director responsible for support to the military and for coordination, as appropriate, with the military services, regional commanders and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
		This judgment assumes that the clandestine service is not forced, for political reasons, to limit its ability to recruit and run agents inside the frequently unsavory circles and governments in which terrorist, narco-traffickers, proliferators and criminal elements operate.
		Military clandestine collectors, not being major players in the national intelligence arena and working mainly for their commanders in their service, have traditionally specialized in low- level types of operations that might be of operational utility in tactical situations.

	Central Intelligence Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Clandestine Service, a semi-independent service which was formerly the Directorate of Operations, is responsible for the clandestine collection of foreign intelligence and covert action.
		Most of the operations of the CS [Clandestine Service] are, by all accounts, the most tricky, politically sensitive, and troublesome of those in the IC [Intelligence Community] and frequently require the DCI's [Director of Central Intelligence's] close personal attention.
		The [Clandestine Service] is the only part of the [Intelligence Community], indeed of the government, where hundreds of employees on a daily basis are directed to break extremely serious laws in countries around the world in the face of frequently sophisticated efforts by foreign governments to catch them.

	BORR Terrorism News: CIA May Need Decade to Rebuild Clandestine Service
		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 attacks, said CIA Director Porter Goss faces an uphill battle to fill the agency's senior ranks with aggressive, seasoned operatives.
		Experts blame a post-Cold War downturn in recruitment for a current lack of seasoned clandestine operatives that has been exacerbated by a rush to lucrative private sector jobs in recent years.
		Former CIA Director George Tenet told the September 11 commission in April 2004 the CIA would need five years to produce a clandestine service fully capable of tackling the terrorism threat.

		In that context, the administration's wrath seems directed toward the clandestine service, that component of the CIA that recruits and handles spies (not the component that publishes intelligence estimates).
		They might just want to consider an alternative possibility: that the service is made up of professionals who would like to save their country from the further embarrassment and potential difficulties of a truly flawed and dangerous Iraq policy.
		However angry this administration is with the clandestine service, whose officers run human intelligence operations, those operations are the last, best hope we have to keep up with the terrorist problem.

		Despite this, several times US aircraft involved in clandestine operations were engaged in air-to-air combats by local air forces, and here are the backgrounds behind such cases.
		Initially, the CIA — at the time a secret service which was very active organizing different subversive activities against plethora of governments around the world — planned not to leave Castro as long in power: in the case of Cuba, already in September 1960 the organization and planning of the Operation called "Pluto" were initiated.
		The times when it was organizing clandestine para-military operations all over the world were largely over, and the CIA — subsequently put under the direct control of the US Senate — was subsequently reorganized into an intelligence-gathering organization.

	t r u t h o u t - CIA's New "National Clandestine Service"
		Intelligence experts view the service, which won President George W.

		With the new clandestine service based at his agency, Goss will have a dual role as CIA director and "National HUMINT Manager." HUMINT is bureaucratic parlance for human intelligence.
		The announcement of the new clandestine service comes just weeks after the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence said the CIA was failing to lead U.S. human intelligence efforts and suggested Negroponte take a stronger management role.

		Robert Richer, the second-ranking official in the CIA's clandestine service, has announced his retirement, telling colleagues that he lacked confidence in the agency's leadership, according to current and former intelligence officials.
		Richer, who was one of CIA Director Porter J. Goss's key personnel choices, made his announcement last Friday at a meeting of the Directorate of Operations leaders, according to some of the officials.

		Part of the new Clandestine Service is the development of informants throughout the world.
		During the Clinton Administration, as a result of an executive order, the CIA was prohibited from employing informants who were "unsavory characters."

		The establishment of the National Clandestine Service (NCS) within the Central Intelligence Agency was approved (http://www.dni.gov/release_letter_101305.html) October 13, 2005, by President George W. Bush.
		It keeps the CIA's traditional position as leader of U.S. 'human intelligence' collection overseas as the FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency and military services are increasing their clandestine operations around the world as part of the terrorism fight," Walter Pincus wrote (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/12/AR2005101202174.html?nav=rss_nation/nationalsecurity) in the October 13, 2005, Washington Post.
		The president's commission had originally proposed creating the position to free the deputy director for operations to concentrate on increasing the capability of CIA's operations, which were found lacking based on the agency's performances in failing to prevent the Sept. 11 attacks and to gain accurate information on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction," Pincus wrote.
