What's wrong with "cyber"? - does it not relate to computers?
Step 1: Stop saying "cyber"
Well, the cyber-criminals are committing cyber-crimes in cyberspace and we need our cyber-intelligence to be up to speed. (cyber-speed)
So with all the attention (advertisement/panic) the NSA has generated, the CIA wants a cut of the cake for themselves? That whole agency disco in the US is so confusing that I have the feeling this has to be the plan all the way or it's some kind of old cold war virus spawning divisions and agencies. Don't they all overlap? Is there enough reality for all of them to spy on?
The NSA is primarily charged with Signals Intelligence, Where as the CIA is Human Intelligence. So it's actually a pretty clear line. They also have their own security clearance process (though they tend to recognize each others in join work). The Department of Homeland security is a bit different, they're charged with domestic operations and support (TSA). The FBI is a Domestic Detective agency for lack of a better…

How about we talk about the CIA's next projects after we finish the prosecution of those in the chain of command that are responsible for torture . Or are attention spans so short and/or the agency so completely removed from the rule of law that we're going to let them get away with their crimes?

"They will not, he said, work on behalf its corporate interests" Unless it's the RIAA, MPAA, MAFIAA or American Oil Interests... in which case, it's business as usual.
At least in the RIAA and MPAA cases, aren't the feds just enforcing piracy laws that are on the books? I mean we can argue that RIAA/MPAA were the ones who got them into the books in the first place, but it's not like corporations can approach the CIA to perform economic espionage, despite what some may think.

meanwhile Obama gives pretty speeches about fighting extremism and tries to drum up more support for killing people an ocean away. American Democracy is a farce.

It's an extension of the national security narrative. Agencies recognize the massive amount of funding and legislature on the horizon and want to see it diverted to them like it was to the DHS in the last decade.

Comments like this one just seem to me like a form of avoidance: let's mock their vocabulary, because we don't want to think about the substance of what they're doing.
