| − | {{QB|Going back 50 years, the agency’s practice was to publicly identify and praise most of Archibald’s predecessors. Why? Paradoxically, it’s a job that requires a certain degree of public exposure. The spy chief’s duties require him to visit regularly with the FBI, NSA and the dozen other branches of the U.S. intelligence community, to testify to congressional oversight committees and to meet with his foreign counterparts, either here or in some of the world’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Nearly two dozen of his predecessors have been known to the public.
