Name the with the acronym or full title. Don't Google first. (yes, I know intelligence community is an oxymoron)
I find it scary that we have 16 agencies.

3. Gene Hackman had a great line about that in the film "No Way Out": |

"Calling that collection of pirahnas a community is one of life's great ironies."

6. Well, if it has anything to do with intelligence, we know that one of them |

is NOT the White House. Neither would one be the RNC.

7. The only ones I could identify specifically are the NSA, CIA, DIA, and FBI. |
|
I knew/know there's an agency in the State Department but couldn't name it. They're listed at http://www.fas.org/irp/official.html

Five of them are just the intelligence departments of the military, and I think there's an undersecretary of defense who's not really an agency, but part of the "community." The FBI, CIA, DEA, Treasury, NSA, DIA. Still a few short. NRO?
