In a time of turbulence, here's some good news for the CIA: The New York Times reports that by next year, the agency will have tripled the number of trained case officers in its ranks. During outgoing director Porter Goss's tenure, the agency opened or reopened more than 20 stations abroad. And the agency continues to be overwhelmed with resumes from people seeking to join its ranks.

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations. He started as associate editor of Government Executive magazine in 1989; launched the company’s flagship website, GovExec.com, in 1996; and was named editor in chief in 2007.
