I am sure that myself and many others have always thought that the FBI, CIA, and NSA was pretty much the extent of the Intelligence community before this week’s lessons but after reading this week’s articles or chapters, I have found that I was way off base and I would have never thought that there was so many organizations that deal with intelligence.

Also with having multiple databases downsized to one then they would be able to all have access to one another’s information because I am sure that not all of the organizations have access to the other 15s. Some people may say that it would be too difficult but maybe if they just combined the parts that work on intelligence then it would be possible because I understand that the entire Drug Enforcement Agency doesn’t need to be a part of the intelligence community because they have other missions like fighting drugs and the Federal Bureau of Investigations the
