This needs to be all over the news but it isn't. The Chicago Tribune used good old fashioned reporting to search for employees of the front companies used to register the planes used to take terror subjects to foreign countries for torture (The practice called "Extraordinary Rendition,") and discovers the names of 2650 CIA Agents, and the addresses of a dozen CIA facilities. The Tribune (who released this info to the CIA before writing their story) won't say how many are covert, but they say that the CIA has told them that 160 of the names are analysts that are not undercover, which means this don't look too good for the other 2500:

Asked how so many personal details of CIA employees had found their way into the public domain, the senior U.S. intelligence official replied that "I don't have a great explanation, quite frankly."

The official noted, however, that the CIA's credo has always been that "individuals are the first person responsible for their cover. If they can't keep their cover, then it's hard for anyone else to keep it. If someone filled out a credit report and put that down, that's just stupid."

One senior U.S. official used a barnyard epithet to describe the agency's traditional system of providing many of its foreign operatives with easily decipherable covers that include little more than a post office box for an address and a non-existent company as an employer.
