    Were the KGB secret service? Because if so they seemed pretty darn efficient.

    Yes, they were a secret service/Intelligence agency. And yeah, they were pretty good. They were ahead of the CIA, for quite a while, actually.

    Technically, yes. Belarus' intelligence agency still uses that name, though of course it's not the same thing. Russia's agency is the SVR now.

    When I think Hoover, I think of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO which was one of the worst breaches in American rights I can think of. Just one of the methods:

    Best intelligence agency? The Worldwide News Syndicate. What you think the news just comes from the local level? The WNS gives the local news channels something to report about.

    I would have to say Mossad. They are still tracking down Nazis. Now that is commitment.

    However, I don't think suspecting the sun of a famous person of a crime makes you paranoid. Being famous doesn't make you a better person.

    It's not my logic. GoC implied that by saying it makes you paranoid.

    CNN and the BBC. Two of the best intelligence gathering services of all time.

    Can't argue with that. Just look at all of the assassinations they do.
