"Fifty percent of the agency has been hired since 9/11," Hayden said, adding: "One-fifth of our analysts have been hired in the last 12 months."

The movement can be traced to several causes. The 18-month tenure of former CIA director Porter J. Goss led to a large number of resignations, particularly in the middle and upper management ranks.

Another drain took place as trained agency analysts and operatives, possessing valuable security clearances, resigned to accept higher-paying jobs offered by companies who had won contracts to perform intelligence activities for the government.

The creation of new intelligence agencies within the government also drew CIA personnel, starting with the establishment of the National Counterterrorism Center and the Department of Homeland Security, expansion of intelligence analysis at the FBI and Defense Department, and finally, the creation in 2005 of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
