Functionality
Edit
Obtaining and analyzing information primary function is obtaining and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals in order to advise public policymakers happens to be the CIA's main function.
Additionally, the agency sometimes engages in propaganda and public relations efforts. It also serves as the government's paramilitary hidden hand via covert operations at the direction of the President and under oversight by Congress. This last role has caused much controversy for the CIA, raising questions about the legality, morality, effectiveness, and wisdom of such operations.
It's headquarters is in the community of Langley, Virginia, a few miles northwest from downtown Washington, D.C. along the Potomac River. The CIA has a division meant specifically for covert operations, known as the National Clandestine Service (NCS). Both the CIA and NCS are part of the U.S. Intelligence Community, led by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
The CIA was in command of Director Langston Graham, who worked with superior of National Security Agency (NSA) and Director of National Intelligence herself, General Diane Beckman. It is unknown if the CIA has been assigned a newer director, but since the CIA can be ran by the Director of National Intelligence as mentioned, the position is possibly held by Beckman since Graham's assassination.
