The [[Central Intelligence Agency]] as its name implies, was originally intended to serve as a central collection point from the [[Pentagon]]'s [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] and [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]; the [[Department of Justice]]'s [[FBI]] involved in counter-intelligence; the [[State Department]]'s Bureau of Intelligence and Research; the independent outside agencies of the [[NSA]], the [[National Reconnaissance Office]], and a few others in the [[Treasury Department]] and elsewhere. CIA now is simply the largest of all member agencies of the IC, and their tasks are not supposed to spread above or into the activities of the other members. | The [[Central Intelligence Agency]] as its name implies, was originally intended to serve as a central collection point from the [[Pentagon]]'s [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] and [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]; the [[Department of Justice]]'s [[FBI]] involved in counter-intelligence; the [[State Department]]'s Bureau of Intelligence and Research; the independent outside agencies of the [[NSA]], the [[National Reconnaissance Office]], and a few others in the [[Treasury Department]] and elsewhere.
