Cynthia Storer to speak on campus Feb. 20.<\/p><\/div>\n

OXFORD, Miss — The CIA analyst who helped discover the existence of the terrorist group al-Qaida and whose two decades of service helped engineer the elimination of the world\u2019s most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, will visit the University of Mississippi\u2019s Center for Intelligence and Security Studies next week.<\/p>\n

Cynthia \u201cCindy\u201d Storer\u2019s visit will include her free, public address at 7 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Turner Center Auditorium.<\/p>\n

Storer said that while a lot of people confuse the role of an analyst with an operations officer, she plans to paint a real-life portrait of her experience. An analyst pulls information from countless avenues, then applies analytical thinking to dissect and piece together information that aides in strategic war against al-Qaida.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like someone hands you a bunch of car parts and asks you to figure out what the parts are for,\u201d Storer said. \u201cA CIA analyst takes the parts, starts building and determines that it\u2019s a car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carl Jensen, director of CISS, said the center routinely brings such speakers to campus so students can learn from the world\u2019s leading intelligence professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work hard to ensure that our students have the opportunity to work with outstanding analysts, such as Ms. Storer,\u201d Jensen said.<\/p>\n

Storer\u2019s analytical work is showcased in the documentary \u201cManhunt: The Search for Bin Laden.\u201d The film, an authentic spy thriller, gives a behind-the-scenes look at a fascinating chapter in American history through former operatives, agents and analysts, including Storer.<\/p>\n

Segments of her persona and those of other CIA members were also used in Hollywood\u2019s portrayal of the character Maya in the film \u201cZero Dark Thirty.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
