CIA director wants to expand operations overseas

[Canuckistanian]

WASHINGTON (AFX) - CIA director Porter Goss said he intends to rebuild the intelligence agency as a global operation with more spies operating overseas under different kinds of cover in more countries.

Goss said the CIA would not rely solely on its relationships with other foreign intelligence services to gather intelligence.

'Unilateral operations will return to be part of the governing paradigm for the CIA,' he said in a speech to employees at the agency's headquarters in Langley, Virginia. A copy of the speech was made available to Agence France-Presse.

'You cannot understand people overseas, much less influence them, from Langley,' he said. 'You cannot develop deep and trusting relationships with individuals and with governments overseas by flying in and flipping out a US passport.'

'We are definitely going to be using new cover arrangements overseas, because we have to,' he said. 'We are going to be in places people can't even imagine.'
