CIA rolls out plan to beef up spy techniques - washingtonpost

WASHINGTON -- The CIA will spend millions of dollars over the next five years to improve intelligence gathering, upgrade technologies and enable analysts to work more closely with spies in the field, under a new plan laid out Monday.

The plan renews the agency's year-old goal to increase the number of analysts and overseas operatives fluent in another language - a problem that has plagued military and civilian intelligence officers throughout much of the last decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq.
