The Directorate of Intelligence is the analytical branch of the Central Intelligence Agency. It has a very different culture than the clandestine service, and the analysts who work in the Directorate of Intelligence tend to be different type of people who work in the Directorate of Operations. Usually they're a bit more bookish. They usually have a more substantial knowledge of their area of interest than the CIA peace officers or spies do. And although it is not prescribed, usually they are a little bit less social than the people who are in the Directorate of Operations. They spend a lot of their time analyzing written materials and writing reports, so they spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer and delving in-depth into information and trying to come up with analytical pieces to write and to present to our policy makers in Washington.
