#2 Grom, the CIA has a "political" division. It's primary duty is to keep track of every member of every government in the world (except ours - that's the duty of the FBI). They basically do this to see if there are members of governments that have "shady" backgrounds, are targets for blackmail, have loyalties to other than the government they serve, and how they feel about the United States. The work is duplicated at State and DIA, which shows why we have so much trouble with our intelligence agencies.
