Isn't the CIA forbidden from doing anything on US soil?
That'd make cointel a little tricky :-) Simon
Errr, That is the Feeb's department, & they guard it like the family jewels.....
BZZT!!! wrong answer since 1981 on december 4 when president reagan signed it into Executive Order #12333 TLA's(those intelligence agencies having strictly offshore charters CIA,NSA others) have been permitted to operate domestically in cases of National Security(or involvement with persons suspected of being agents for foreign entities) and Drug War issues. Formerly it was simply illegal but since the intel community had taken such a hard hit during the church subcommittee hearings of the 1970's the new tactic was to acquire legitimacy for black ops on domestic fronts thus the above EO was shoved under reagans nose quickly... The reference to the above EO may be found in the "CIA off Campus" booklet by the Bill of Rights Foundation on page 134-135 ISBN 0-89608-404-3 (c) 1991 by Amy Chen Mills and the Bill of Rights foundation. Get it its a fascinating read!!.. cheers
