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

10. Well

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?
