    While watching Turn: Washington's Spies turned out to be an exciting TV show. In the beginning, the show was confusing because of the beginning of the episode it showed a bunch of dead bodies on the ground and a person going around and stabbing them.

The TV show creates a good resemblance between people and history of the colonists depicting their life situation.…

Intelligence, like music, is an art and a science. Each organization has its own specialty: the Central Intelligence Agency specializes in Human Intelligence, the NSA specializes in Signals Intelligence, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and National Reconnaissance Office specialize in Imagery Intelligence, the Defense Intelligence Agency is responsible for the intelligence gathered by military entities; there is a myriad of other agencies in the alphabet soup of the IC at every level of government: federal, state, and local, which each have their own responsibilities and specialties. As the Commander in Chief and head of the executive branch, the President leads the IC in carrying out their missions and operations.
