Several recent Intelligence Community Directives (ICDs) were released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on January 22 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the Federation of American Scientists.

The newly released directives include (all pdf):
ICD 105, “Acquisition,” August 15, 2006

ICD 602, “Human Capital — Intelligence Community Critical Pay Positions,” August 16, 2006
ICD 900, “Mission Management,”December 21, 2006
