“Over the past few years, it has become increasingly clear that the CIA’s primary strategic challenge is to balance its counterterrorism mission – still a top priority for the Agency – with its mandate for global coverage. It’s hard work, but we’re succeeding by staying focused on protecting the American people while applying deep expertise to analyzing international developments that affect US national security.” – John Tomczyk CIA Chief of Media Relations |
