What's worse? OVERLAP LIKE A CHAMP! They sometimes STUMBLE OVER THEMSELVES in the course of an investigation!

At least!
Those list the top agencies, but even within the agencies there sometimes are separate departments and offices!
There are good reasons to keep so many intelligence agencies going. I'm not into conspiracy theories.. (ok, maybe a little), but the thought of one uber all knowing agency, while possibly efficient, could also become terribly corrupt. The multiple agencies, while sometimes redundant, keep checks and balances in place and also allow the intel gather process to occur through multiple perspectives.
Sorry, didn't mean to get on my soap box… I'm just passionate about this stuff!

Government Intelligence: The greatest oxymoron of all time.

Yeah, I agree. But SIXTEEN of 'em?
Also, if you read the blurb on DHS, it says their primary concern is BORDER SECURITY. Damned if I can tell it by what's been done.

Some of the 16 are big. The majority are small.

Oh lord, I need to see a doc and NASA. My ribs went to the atmosphere. Perhaps the Geospatial Intel folks can find them for me.

I'm with you Chris... they must have a pretty broad definition of what an Intel Agency is. There are a few that don't really qualify and several that are forbidden to operate in the US... only international and are mission/objective driven.
