ground, but as one of the e-mails surfaced from this analyst that was essentially running him, that they were so pleased that they were able to do this, and basically best the directorate of operation guys, the other guys in the building. what this shows, i think, is an agency that s complete ly since 9/11 has grown too big, too reliant on contractor and no one can get their arm around it. is there a realty rivalry between the analysts, those who try to come up with assessments and the clan deathant service, like you used to doened try to recruit foreigners to help the united states? i wouldn t use the term a rivalry. they re two very different functions. they re two different types of people. the type of person that goes into the analytical side is completely different from what you would find on the ops side.
