Break up the CIA into smaller more manageable sections. The bigger the organization the more problems you have.
That is why our military have small groups of highly trained people to take care of big problems.
The CIA is two big,
To much paper work can get lost to many wrongs get covered up and to much waist by having departments that do not do anything of value but collect a pay check and collect benefits you and I can only dream about.
Break them up and keep them honest

Government contractors can save money over the long haul if overseen properly. Sure government contractors can cost up to $250,000 or more including the cost of all benefits. On average, they cost a lot more than that because they can hire smart, ambitious and motivated junior level staff at $40,000 to $50,000 to do a lot of grunt work. In addition, consultants do not get jobs for life like governemnt workers do, so the government can hire a consultant to carry out a task and that is that instead of bringing on a FT government worker.
The other factor is that generally speaking consultants have to stay on the cutting edge of technology or their particular industry to stay employed. Government workers do not have the same pressure to do so.
Obviously, there are pros and cons to each, particularly with respect to inherently governmental functions like intelligence work. However, commentators need to be careful to compare apples to apples with respect to the costs and trade offs.

There are lots of administrative functions best handled by the private sector. Central Intelligence is not one of them. It is one of many instances where our government has assumed greater liability while ceding some control of an area on which it really needs a firm grip--all for negligible cost savings, which--if problems with contractors persist--will have been decidedly short-term.
