As one of the principal members of the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), the CIA reports to the Director of National Intelligence and is primarily focused on providing intelligence for the President and his Cabinet. Unlike the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is a domestic security service, CIA has no law enforcement function and is mainly focused on overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited domestic collection. Though it is not the only U.S. government agency specializing in HUMINT, CIA serves as the national manager for coordination and deconfliction of HUMINT activities across the entire intelligence community. Moreover, CIA is the only agency authorized by law to carry out and oversee covert action on behalf of the President, unless the President determines that another agency is better suited for carrying out such action.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 World Leaders-Paraguay )〕 It can, for example, exert foreign political influence through its tactical divisions, such as the Special Activities Division. Before the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, CIA Director concurrently served as the head of the Intelligence Community; today these functions and authorities reside with the Director of National Intelligence. Despite transferring some of its powers to the DNI, the CIA has grown in size as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2013, ''The Washington Post'' reported that in fiscal year 2010, the CIA had the largest budget of all IC agencies, exceeding previous estimates.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Preparing for the 21st Century: An Appraisal of U.S. Intelligence. Chapter 13 - The Cost of Intelligence )〕 The CIA has increasingly taken on offensive roles, including covert paramilitary operations.〔 One of its largest divisions, the Information Operations Center (IOC), has shifted focus from counter-terrorism to offensive cyber-operations. Several CIA activities have attracted criticism. They include nonconsensual human experiments, extraordinary rendition, enhanced interrogation techniques (torture), targeted killings, assassinations and the funding and training of militants who would go on to kill civilians and non-combatants.〔(Resolution 1507 (2006). ) Alleged secret detentions and unlawful inter-state transfers of detainees involving Council of Europe member states〕 ==Purpose== When the CIA was created, its purpose was to create a clearinghouse for foreign policy intelligence and analysis. Today its primary purpose is to collect, analyze, evaluate, and disseminate foreign intelligence, and to perform covert actions. According to its fiscal 2013 budget, the CIA has five priorities: * Counterterrorism, the top priority, given the ongoing Global War on Terror. * Nonproliferation of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, with North Korea described as perhaps the most difficult target. * Warning/informing American leaders of important overseas events, with Pakistan described as an "intractable target". * Counterintelligence, with China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and Israel described as "priority" targets. * Cyber intelligence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Central Intelligence Agency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
