Washington: CIA Director John Brennan is launching a new campaign aimed at pressuring CIA officers to keep the intelligence agency`s secrets secret, after a series of leaks to the media.
In a memo to the CIA workforce this week, Brennan says the "Honor the Oath" campaign is intended to "reinforce our corporate culture of secrecy" through education and training. A news agency obtained the memo yesterday, marked unclassified and for official use only.
Brennan writes that the campaign stems from a review of CIA security launched last year, following what Brennan calls "several high-profile anonymous leaks and publications by former senior officers."
The review concluded the CIA also needs to be tougher with pre-publication review of articles or books by former employees.
The CIA declined to comment.
