20 percent of CIA analysts are now “targeters” scanning data for individuals to recruit, arrest or place in the cross hairs of a drone.

So here's the new CIA: A military force without accountability and oversight.

How do they view their accomplishments? According to one CIA veteran, a CTC leader told him:

"We are killing these sons of b*tches faster than they can grow them now.”

One reason for the lack of oversight:

Sometimes their missions are considered military “preparation of the battlefield,” and others fall under covert findings obtained by the CIA. As a result, congressional intelligence and armed services committees rarely get a comprehensive view.

The CIA is more "kill" than "capture." And not very discriminate.

“It wasn’t always high-value targets,” [one military official] said. “They were trying to pursue and kill sometimes lower-hanging fruit.”

At least once, they killed the wrong target.

No one knows how many people the CIA has killed, because of its secrecy and the lack of review.

[H]uman rights groups say the death toll over the past decade from CIA-directed operations undoubtedly exceeds the casualty count associated with strikes from drones.
