January 19, 2012 – The history of the Central Intelligence Agency is rich with stories of men and women who dared to be leaders and innovators. If it weren’t for these brave Agency officers, our country might be a very different place today. One such leader and innovator was Richard Bissell. He became a CIA legend because he dared to take risks during one of the nation’s darkest periods, the Cold War. Under Bissell’s leadership, the Agency developed the U-2—a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft—which debunked the myth that the Soviet Union was way ahead of America in producing missiles and weapons.

December 1, 2011 – Ever since Thaddeus Lowe flew a balloon over Confederate troops during the Civil War, photo reconnaissance has been an important part of intelligence gathering. Over the years, many important policy decisions have been made with the help of photo imagery, including President John F. Kennedy’s decision to press the Soviets to remove missiles from Cuba. An Agency employee, Art Lundahl, led the way in showing U.S. policymakers how vital photo imagery can be to their decisionmaking. As a result, he became known as the father of imagery analysis.

Accordingly, the Factbook is adding new categories of societal data, which—along with other demographic and economic entries—offer additional insight into a country’s economic strength, internal stability, and impact on the environment. After a comprehensive search for datasets that are current and regularly updated, nine new fields have been added, with the World Health Organization and the World Bank providing most of the information.
