Bush orders CIA expansion

US President George W Bush has ordered the CIA to get more spies on the ground to step up the war on terror - while resignations of key staff have increased a sense of turmoil at the world's biggest intelligence agency.

The president last week gave Central Intelligence Agency director Porter Goss 90 days to draw up a timetable and budget to increase by 50 per cent the number of spies on the ground, and take on extra analysts and language specialists.

Bush, according to his memorandum made public this week, also wants to double the number of agents in the research and development department tracking weapons of mass destruction.

The extra staff are one part of the recommendations made by the official investigation into the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.

The CIA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation were criticised for their slow reaction to signs of an al-Qaeda attack before the hijackers struck on September 11 - as well as the information on weapons of mass destruction used to justify the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003. No weapons have ever been found.
