what are the duties and responsibilities of a CIA agent?

Answer 1

To protect this country at all cost, above family and self, a CIA agent could be asked to do anything from spying undercover to taking out an adversary.

Answer 2

- The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is an intelligence agency of the United States government.
- The CIA is an international intelligence agency which is not responsible for domestic security.
- Primary function is obtaining and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons, and reporting such information to the branches of the Government.
- Secondary function is propaganda or public relations, overt and covert information dissemination, both true and false, and influencing others to decide in favor of the United States Government.
- Third function of the CIA is as the hidden hand of the U.S. government, by engaging in covert operations at the direction of the President.
- Last function has caused most controversy for the CIA, raising questions about the legality, morality, effectiveness, and intelligence of such operations.
- The CIA has a much more extensive network of intelligence gathering equipment and personnel overseas. The primary focus of the CIA is international intelligence.
- The CIA often cooperates with international intelligence agencies to exchange information.
- The CIA may pass information regarding domestic security on to the FBI.
- The CIA does not handle law enforcement. Agents working within the United States are primarily stationed at CIA headquarters in Washington. Domestically based agents interpret information and create intelligence briefings for the President and White House staff. If directed, these agents may supervise overseas agents in carrying out covert actions on behalf of the United States.
