I see the phrase "CIA and FBI" presented at least three times in this article. The CIA collects the information on foreign soil and feeds it to the FBI field offices.

Seems to me like the Office of Homeland Security is working.

I thought those two agencies weren't covered by the new office.

The Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection directorate of the DHS analyzes intelligence and information from other agencies (including the CIA, FBI, DIA and NSA) involving threats to homeland security and evaluates vulnerabilities in the nation's infrastructure.

Actionable intelligence - that is, information which can lead to stopping or apprehending terrorists--is essential to the primary mission of DHS. The timely and thorough analysis and dissemination of information about terrorists and their activities will improve the government's ability to disrupt and prevent terrorist acts and to provide useful warning to the private sector and our population. The Directorate will fuse and analyze information from multiple sources pertaining to terrorist threats. The Department will be a full partner and consumer of all intelligence-generating agencies, such as the National Security Agency, the CIA and the FBI.
