NSA is an agency of the Department of Defense. CIA is an independent organization. FBI is counted among the set of US &quot;Intelligence&quot; organizations, but if there&#x27;s one thing media and memoirs tell us, it&#x27;s that organization in different Departments have a history of not playing nice. Case in point, all the finger pointing around organizations not sharing information pre 9&#x2F;11.<p>DOD and DOJ in particular I don&#x27;t think have such a close buddy-buddy relationship.
