The DIA is the military's intellgience agency, presumably reporting on military capabilities, plans, etc. > the DIA isn't above the rest of the alphabet soup agencies in the hierarchy, hence it cannot just report on the activities of the other agencies itself. None of the others are either, afaik. The only intelligence organization above the rest is the Director of National Intelligence, whose job is to ~ oversee and coordinate the intelligence community.
