Check out these three great sites put together by the Political Science
Department at Loyola College in Maryland. These are unofficial sites
for researchers, students, and interested browsers who just wants to know
more about the intelligence community. These are very complete sites
which include links to intelligence agencies both domestic and abroad;
lots of official documents; and more. Also includes info on Echelon,
which is often pretty elusive.

& testimony, links to other intelligence agencies, and more.
Defense Intelligence

little-known intelligence agency designed to provide information to the
Department of Defense.
Federal Bureau

top ten most wanted fugitives, read reports about crime statistics in the
United States, and learn what the FBI is doing to make your neighborhood
safer (or at least how they're spending your tax money).

Community Home Page Contains official U.S. Government information
(otherwise known as propoganda) about the many American intelligence agencies,
including little-known ones such as Army, Navy, and Marine Intelligence.
National Imagery

enemy territory.
National
Reconnaissance Office This agency is responsible for tracking
spy satellites in orbit and supplying spy satellite information to the
CIA and other government agencies.
National
Security Agency The premiere code-cracking intelligence agency
in the world is NSA, whose Fort Meade, MD, facility contains the largest

Canadian
Security Intelligence Service Official site for Canada's intelligence
agency, which is charged with foiling espionage and terrorist acts within
Canadian borders. Information is provided in both French and English. |
Most of these agencies have three purposes: to spy on other countries,
to counter terrorists (both inside and outside their national borders),
and to prevent domestic disturbances (riots, coups, or political elections
that could turn out badly for the ruling party). More frequently,
however, intelligence agencies are being used for a fourth purpose: to
spy for the benefit of their country's corporations.
