CIA is looking for a few good doctors
Objective is information on health of foreign leaders, enemiesBy Robert Windrem
Investigative producer

Updated: 2:55 p.m. ET Dec. 29, 2004NEW YORK - The Central Intelligence Agency is looking for a few good doctors.

Hidden in the back pages of the Journal of the American Medical Association is an agency advertisement seeking physicians who might want to become "medical analysts" and use their training to "assess the physical health of foreign leaders and terrorists."

The job of medical analyst is not new, according to current and former intelligence officials and agency historians. It’s just that the agency is being more forthcoming in describing what they do to the public.

“It goes back to the Cold War,” said intelligence historian Jeffrey T. Richelson, author of “The Wizards of Langley.” “There was a story about CIA getting Khrushchev's urine … surreptitiously of course.

“They have been monitoring the health of world leaders for decades. It’s an essential element of biographical profiles,” he said.
