Best Answer

Countries need to protect themselves from attacks and spying from other countries. They almost all have an external security force such as the British MI6 and the US CIA. The CIA only has a mandate to act outside of the United States and against people who are not citizens of the USA. If they need to work against US citizens or they need to do their job inside the USA then they require the prior apporval of the FBI.

This answer does not take into account peoples personal opinion of the CIA, its failures or its successes, nor should it.
