After recent discoveries, outbreaks, and revelations from within the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency, current director John Brennan intends to launch a new campaign for the CIA to maintain their secrecy.

The sudden change in objectives is likely a direct result of Edward Snowden’s recent actions. By informing the media of the government’s surveillance programs, the CIA needs to insure that information is not so easily leaked again on such a great and reputation-damaging scale.

From Associated Press: 

“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. The Associated Press obtained the memo Wednesday, marked unclassified and for official use only.”

According to Brennan, this new campaign relates to a review of CIA security from last summer, launched by the former director, David Petraeus. It came after there had been “several high-profile anonymous leaks and publications by former senior officers."

The CIA declined to comment on the matter.
