Symptoms of a Bruise. 1  Initially, a fresh bruise may actually be reddish. It will then turn blue or dark purple within a few hours, then yellow or green after a few days as it heals.  A bruise is commonly tender, and sometimes even painful for the first few days, but the pain usually goes away as the color fades.
These 17 Agencies Make Up The Most Sophisticated Spy Network In The World. The U.S. intelligence community is vast, composed of 17 distinct organizations each operating under its own shroud of secrecy. Oversight of these agencies generally falls to the Department of Defense or Congress, leaving the average citizen with precious little knowledge of how they operate.
The major difference is who they report to and what they focus on. For example, the CIA is the only independent agency in that it only reports to the President (well, technically the DNI but no one actually takes them seriously). In theory, it's the only agency that does all-source analysis of foreign intelligence issues. Most of the other agencies are DOD and report to the Secretary of Defense. DIA, for example, is mainly supposed to focus on military intelligence and related issues. There are a few other agencies/offices that report to other department (for example, the FBI reports to the Attorney General and the Bureau of Intelligence and Research is part of the State Department). Most agencies are divided by the type of intelligence they focus on.
