The federal government agency that tries to monitor and prevent terrorist financing is part of the State Department, the Office of Foreign Assets Control\n\nHere is a description of their Mission:\nThe Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and \nnational security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of \nweapons of mass destruction. OFAC acts under Presidential wartime and national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on \ntransactions and freeze foreign assets under US jurisdiction.

Although the Counter Terrorism Unit is a fictional agency within the United States government, other federal agencies do fall under Senate purview.\n\nBoth the Congress and the Executive Branch oversee the Central Intelligence Agency's activities. In the Executive Branch, the National Security Council -- which includes the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Defense -- provides guidance and direction for national foreign intelligence and counterintelligence activities. In Congress, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as other committees, closely monitor the CIA's reporting and programs. The CIA is not a policy-making organization, nor does it have any law enforcement function. It collects and analyzes information on foreign entities, and advises policymakers on matters of foreign intelligence. The CIA conducts covert actions only at the direction of the President\n\nThe FBI's activities are also closely and regularly scrutinized by a variety of entities. Since the FBI falls under the U.S. Department of Justice, it is responsible to the Attorney General, and it reports its findings to United States Attorneys across the country. Congress, through the Committees on the Judiciary of the Senate and the House of Representatives, reviews the FBI's budget appropriations, programs, and selected investigations. Also, the results of FBI investigations are often reviewed by the judicial system during court proceedings

When the FBI pumps in gallons of extremely flammable substances in order to drive out the occupants, and then the building catches fire, there should be some questions raised.  From everything I've seen, the FBI just made a lots of mistakes and did things in a very poor manner.  This resulted in the compound turning into a cluster f&#%.

The FAA for one.  FBI is another.

Plot device.  It creates a nice little sub-plot if you can provide a mean old arrogant g-man as a foil to your hard-working, down-home beat cop.\n\nFrom what (admittedly little) I've read about the interaction of law enforcement agency, there really isn't a lot of competition between state and local law enforcement.  Usually, when the FBI is called in, both the police and the agents want as much cooperation between the two as possible, because bickering slows down the investigation.  Part of "getting along" requires good diplomacy, and everyone gets proper credit in the news.

Here is the right answer:\n\nThe Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a Federal criminal investigative and intelligence agency which is the principal investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice. The mission of the FBI is to uphold the law through the investigation of violations of federal criminal law; to protect the United States from foreign intelligence and terrorist activities; to provide leadership and law enforcement assistance to federal, state, local, and international agencies; and to perform these responsibilities in a manner that is responsive to the needs of the public and is faithful to the United States Constitution. The Bureau's motto is "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity."\n\nInformation obtained through an FBI investigation is presented to the appropriate U.S. Attorney or DOJ official, who decides if prosecution or other action is warranted. Top priority has been assigned to three areas: counterterrorism, foreign counterintelligence, and cyber crime.\n\nThe Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is the American intelligence agency, responsible for obtaining and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and individuals, and reporting such information to the various branches of the U.S. Government. A third function of the CIA is to act as the "hidden hand" of the government by engaging in "covert actions" at "the direction of the President."[1] It is this last function that has caused most of the controversies regarding the CIA over the years.\n\nThe CIA acts as the primary American provider of central intelligence estimates. It is believed to make use of the surveillance satellites of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) and the signal interception capabilities of the NSA, including the ECHELON system, the surveillance aircraft of the various branches of the U.S. armed forces and the analysts of the State Department and Department of Energy. At one point, the CIA even operated its own fleet of U-2 surveillance aircraft. The agency has also operated alongside regular military forces, and also employs a group of clandestine officers with paramilitary skills in its Special Activities Division. Micheal Spann, a CIA officer killed in November 2001 during the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, was one such individual. The CIA also has strong links with other foreign intelligence agencies such as the UK's MI6 and Canada's CSIS.

If they were to be changing the name of the agency it would be part of the public record.  As far as I know there is no change supposed to occur to the FBI's current name.

Well, hypothetical, if you committed a federal crime at some point and you know that a file exists, you could file an Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request with the FBI and they will probably respond in some way or another. Check the link below for instructions:

It wouldn't matter to me if the FBI is doing just what you're asking about.  Expressing my opinion is far from showing intent.  I may hate things about the government and it is my right to say that I hate them.  But to get into trouble because I express opinions is a far cry from proving that I intend to do anything against it.  Let the FBI watch and moniter all it wants.  I answer questions and express attitudes everywhere with a clear conscience.
