I see the memo author is former US Dept State diplomatic security. I always thought of State DS agents in terms of personal protection and not so much counterintelligence and investigations. Guess I was wrong. I would have expected to see a senior ex-FBI or former IC community member in this role.
- tyingq 9y agoPrior to Google, he had 6 years as a "Special Agent" for the US State Department in Israel. He lists his department as DS/CI, where CI would be "criminal investigations". So, specifically in the subarea that's doing that. That agency, for example, investigated and apprehended one of the 1993 WTC bombers. Interesting story involving Mr Katz: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2224589/Google-threatened-bartender-employee-accidentally-left-secret-phone-bar.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2224589/Google-threa...
- rrggrr 9y agoGreat link. I'm pretty sure the CI stands for counterintelligence, but I may be wrong. Regardless, I have no opinion, just though it was interesting to see where former DS agents find themselves after service.
- tyingq 9y agoLooked it up...you're right: "Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Office of Investigations and Counterintelligence,Counterintelligence Division (CI division)" With 3 branches: DS/CI/ASB - Analysis Branch DS/CI/IB - Investigations Branch DS/CI/PPR - Policy and Programs Branch
