By my understanding none of them are pure intellegence services, for each of those you mentioned and many others known to us also carry out actions - thus they are not merely intellegece services.\n\nThe U.S. National Intellegece Agency is the only one that I know of that purely analyzes data; and takes no actions...thus its the only one I know of that fits your answer.  I'm quite certain other countries have similar agencies, but don't know what they are called.

CIA - Born out of the old OSS after the Second World War, this agency is intended to be independent, non-partisan and for fifty years has been responsible for covert operations and intelligence gathering. They also provide info for non governmental clients - not just the executive branch.\n\nNSA - The National Security Agency is the President's primary source for intel. It is a part of the executive branch and, I believe, shares intel with others in the community including military intelligence folks.\n\nDepartment of Homeland Security is a mish mash collection of agencies (FEMA, Immigration...) designed to respond to the threat brought on by 9/11.

Research & Analysis Wing, RAW for shorts, is the External Intelligence Agency of India.They are to India, what CIA is to USA. They are responsible for monitoring all threats emanating from outside the country like Terrorism, keeping watch on developments(military/socio-economic/political) in nations considered hostile or even otherwise. Their job is to keep the Goverenment and decision makers appraised and provide vital inputs which can help them in decision making. To quote an example, RAW would have presented the Gov. with detailed analysis of what is happening in Baluchistan in Pakistan, with complete what if & scenario analysis. If the Gov. decides to help/support the insurgents in baluchistan, it is RAW which will put the infrastructure in place for such operation(smuglling of weapons, training, tactical advise etc.) & co-ordinate all activities.

One day, a French spy received a coded message from an American spy claiming it came directly from President Bush. It read: S370HSSV-0773H. \n\nThe spy was stumped, so he sent it to his boss at the agency. His boss was stumped too, so he sent it to the Russians for decoding. \n\nThe Russians couldn't solve it either, so they asked the Germans. \n\nThe Germans, having received this same message during WWII from the Americans, suggested turning it upside down \n\n(sombody sent this one to me)

CIA works internationally as well as nationally, it  also has a broader jurisdiction. FBI only works nationally and is more focused on specific people, where as CIA works on the organisations. i think CIA is mroe important

I don't think they recruit people directly.CID and CBI are domestic organizations which pick up promising police officers.For that you will have to join the Indian Police Service.RAW is our foriegn intelligence agency-which is a fairly covert organization-but they I think take recruits from the military intelligence agencies like the Joint Cipher Bureau or the Signals Intelligence Bureau.RAW might also accept qualified officers from the military.However I am fairly certain that civilians are not taken into these organizations directly-you will have to be either in the Indian Police Service or the military.It is however much easier to join a domestic intelligence agency than a foriegn intelligence agency.I don't think age will be much of an issue here-22 is quite an acceptable age.The spectacle issue shouldn't be a problem either.You can get much more information at   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indian_Intelligence_agencies

I've been away for a couple of weeks and then I come back to this....\n\nI am so out of the loop that I have no idea what this series of questions is about.\n\nBut for some reason, it reminded me of Mad Magazine and their series of cartoons entitled "Spy vs Spy".\n\nWill you welcome me back with 10 points?\n\n(I'm joking. You'll do whatever you want to do with your points.)

I assume you mean Diplomatic Security Service. That is a popular name for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, a section of the Department of State, which provides security for diplomats in the United States.

In the U.S. military, the term special operations forces is preferred: special forces refers exclusively to the United States Army Special Forces, commonly known as the Green Berets.\n\nElsewhere, the phrases "special forces" and "special operations forces" are generally regarded as synonymous, and are treated as such for the purposes of this article.\n\n\nThe Special Air Service (SAS) is the principal special forces organisation of the British Army.

Spy satellites and communications.  That's all I can say.  If you know where the enemy is and what they are planning, then they have already lost the battle.  Good intelligence is a premium!

My friend is about to apply for MI6. I think they prefer someone with a degree but I think someone with skills such as languages like you would be taken on anyway.\n\nBut here are some links for you to look at.\n\nhttp://www.sis.gov.uk/output/Page4.html\n\nhttp://www.mi5careers.co.uk/pages/homepage.asp
