``The genie has exploded out of the bottle and
the genie is providing information to any and all
masters -- from CNN to terrorists,'' he said.
``Friends and foes alike have the same access
we do to high-powered, portable computers and
communications systems safeguarded by
encryption.''
At the same time, Tenet said, the United States
has evolved into ``the most attractive target in

``The CIA is now engaged in our biggest
recruiting drive since the end of the Cold War,''
he said, lamenting, ``We face major competition
from the private sector.''
