agência nacional de inteligência estrangeira dos Estados Unidos
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) é um serviço civil de inteligência estrangeira do governo federal dos Estados Unidos encarregado de promover a segurança nacional por meio da coleta e análise de inteligência de todo o mundo e da condução de operações encobertas. A agência está sediada no George Bush Center for Intelligence em Langley, Virgínia, e às vezes é chamada metonimicamente de "Langley". Um membro importante da Comunidade de Inteligência dos Estados Unidos (IC), a CIA reporta ao diretor de inteligência nacional desde 2004 e está focada em fornecer inteligência para o presidente e o Gabinete, embora também forneça inteligência para uma variedade de outras entidades, incluindo as Forças Armadas dos Estados Unidos e aliados estrangeiros.
