The
Chicago Tribune says it has compiled a list of 2,653 CIA employees, just by
searching the internet. The newspaper said it gathered the information from
online services that compile public data, that any fee-paying subscriber can
access. It did not publish the names, at the CIA's request. Many of the agents
are believed to be covert. The paper also located two dozen "secret" facilities.
A CIA spokeswoman admitted the internet had scuppered some of its methods.
