This sounds like it may be in violation of CIA charter.
CIA is not a domestic spy agency, and was never intended to be.
Its charter specifically prohibits spying inside US borders.
Of course, the government would never let a little thing like rules get in the way.

If memory serves, only the NSA is precluded from spying directly on American citizens in these United States. The CIA, on the other hand, is not thus handicapped.

Didn't those rules prohibit the CIA from informing the FBI that Mohammed Atta and his gang were in country in August of 2001? Was that good?
