The CIA admitted Tuesday that while the presence of racial and ethnic minorities in its workforce is broadly representative of the nation's population, there is a lack of diversity in the agency's leadership … and a troubling decline in the recruiting of the best and brightest in minority populations.
The conclusions were released in a 48-page report entitled "Director's Diversity in Leadership Study: Overcoming Barriers to Advancement."
"The study found cultural, management, and organizational issues that contribute to a lack of diversity in the agency's leadership," said CIA Director John Brennan, who met with reporters at agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia. "The CIA simply must do more to develop the diverse and inclusive leadership environment that our values require and that our mission demands."

Yes, let's not be concerned about our primary mission of collecting intelligence info to protect the homeland, being "Diverse" is much more important.
Beam me up, Scotty.
How many minority (I.e., Black) countries spy on the U.S.?
Why does the CIA need minorities?
Some minorities do have best and brightest.
Just not the ones that get affirmative action.
We all know how this ends.
How many AAs in China??
I’m surprised that they couldn’t get more muzzies, after all John Brennan is probably a muzzie.

“since 2008, the percentage of minorities hired has declined to levels lower than what is necessary to sustain the level of minority representation in the current workforce”
That is why they are passing over gobs of white male applicants. . .who can blame them, after all, who better to assimmilate into the local mid-east environment and develop sources than some black female. . .
“suffers”?
Why would the melanin count matter in the CIA?
You’ve hit on it - the ones that are often “lacking” are the ones you don’t want because they AREN’T the best and brightest.
Asians, Indians, etc - those have the best and brightest, but the left doesn’t want them BECAUSE they are the best and brightest.
I’d guess that the test has been considerably dumbed down since the days Bill Casey was in office and I took the exam. But given the choice between, say, working in the Holder-Lynch justice department where they are going to have power over others and an intelligence agency where they might actually have to produce real results, what are most of them going to pick?
Yep, the skim milk of the skim milk will opt for DOJ.
I wonder if diversity includes hiring more crapweasels like Mike Morell?
"Diversity" refers only to skin color...might prove useful for CIA operations in darkest Africa.
God, I miss James Traficant.
Guess it is time to lower the bar
Most cannot get into law enforcement because of their criminal records.
Why does the CIA need minorities
Japanese or Chinese businessmen go all over the world and thus have a good natural cover.
Asians don’t count. The unspoken “problem” is that there aren’t enough blacks.
You can bet the Japanese or Chinese aren’t the minorities they are wanting to hire! They need more Blacks to meet the artificial quota standards set up by the CBC & HR types!
