Top 10 Best Intelligence Agencies In The World 2013










How is it possible? ISI defeated CIA. This is not true. I don’t agree with you. Pakistani’s are just dumb poor people.
It doesn’t mean poor people can’t have best intelligence agency. ISI is best intelligence agency and American Crime News has verified this fact. You can search for it on google.
Well said Arslan. I agree.
Because poor people fall prey to these agencies spending billions whereas majority of Pakistanis is living below the poverty level. Intellectuals and educational institutions not intelligence agencies make you stronger.
Pakistan is rife with corruption
The Americans can’t trust the Pakastanies because the ISI just keeps on leaking, how can it be the best if the can’t keep their mouths shut?
Also you forgot to mention the NSA which is ten times bigger than the CIA

Well said, buddy. I really appreciate. Every country is best in his fields. We should not criticize or use hard words against any one.
I agree, general public should not be victim of world politics, oil trade, weapon trade, and in the name of religion.
Yeah. We all are human and as a human, we all have rights. Every nation and its ruler should respect them. They create fake disputes just for their own benefits. We should understand this.

Those are not ranked, those Intelligence agencies will be best,because the are Secret,”top-secret intelligence agencies” it’s means “worst-secret intelligence agencies”.The best intelligence agency is so far but now cracked by CIA is Al-Qaeda.
ISI is a strong agency and brave
proud to b pakistani:)
ISI I think is best and I agree with you.
Well we Pakistanise do not need any sort of compliments that ISI is on top we well know about our intelligence and why ISI should not be on top whereas our maximum economy spending on army. On other hand, indians do always jealous about our reputation. We people were strong and are and will strong.
We, Indians, are not jealous of Pakistan we are simply annoyed by them. We are jealous of China seeing their impressive economic growth and trying to play catch-up.
ISI is very powerful no doubt but it is also cancerous, already beyond the control of its government. Also, in my opinion CIA is more powerful than ISI because, unlike ISI, CIA has influence way beyond its national boundaries and immediate neighbours. And there is something to be desired when it comes to internal security responsibility of ISI.
proud to be pakistani (pakistan zindabad god allah bless my country inshallah its always be on the no. 1
jo bhi parsnsa ke yogy hai uski parsnsa ki ninda nhi karni chahiye wo kisi bhi desh ka ho
We love ISI……WE are the part of ISI……………..
ISi is the best at hiding terorists, that is it. According to the news, ISi can’t even control their own agents. Some of their agents help terrorists. According to the news, atleast some ISI agents knew of Bin Laden’s residence in Pakistan. Did the executives of ISI know? If they didn’t know that means they can’t control their own rogue agents. If they did not know, how can it be said that ISI is the best. If you can’t even find someone in your own country how can they be the best? It is the CIA that finally found Bin Laden. ISI is not better than the CIA. The CIA’s budget is in the tens of billion of dollars. Not counting that of the NSA, which is said to be able to listen and record phone calls, texts, e-mails and faxes through out the whole world. ISI does not have these abilities. The CIA has the best special forces operators in the world. The Special Activities Division of the CIA hires former Delta Force and DEVGRU special forces operators and then trains them at the “Farm” for the year long spy course. So, they are already the best sepecial forces operators and then trained to become spies. They were the first forces in Afghanistan in 2001. I am not saying that ISI is not a good spy agency. They are more renowned than their Indian counter-parts. But if you can’t control rogue agents, then it means the agency can’t be fully trusted to carry out the intersts of their nation. Don’t trust the American Crime News, they are not experts in secret intelligence matters. How could they know, it’s secret.
Actually they have played a game with US there big time. Osama had been killed in 2002 but ISI and CIA kept this secret . CIA wanted to make this as excuse and stay in Afg while ISI used this to cut their roots.Now when ISI felt that America is very weak ISI asked CIA to make their return positive and show the world that you have killed Osama. When America did that on the following day Paki told the US…. ” YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW AS THE GAME IS OVER”
I agree with you to some extent. All secret agencies are playing secret games about which we don’t know. So we better stop judging them. They are cleverer than we think they are.
Hey Pakistanis are not dumb people. ISI is the best in the world. If all pakistani are dumb then how come we have nuclear power. It doesn’t matter if you dont believe. The world believe that it is true and ISI is the best intelligence agency.
pakistan zindabad !!!
CIA has over 20,000 employees. It gathers information in a really large number of countries which have a direct interest in the US policy. It is very efficient and it provides the necessary data for providing good national security. The President is allowed to ask the CIA to perform covert activities and in many cases these activities were famous worldwide. The main function of the agency is collecting data about individuals of risk, government of various states and corporations. Also it advises policymakers in the best course of action. The agency has a division of special activities which will insert and influence foreign policies and conduct even paramilitary actions. it is highly funded and technologically most advanced, CIA at times undertakes secret activities at the request of the President of US.However, the greatest failure of the CIA was the attack over the twin towers and it remained something that would be a stain on the agency. After all the idea was that the cooperation between FBI and CIA seemed to work a little bit hard, but nothing takes it out of the top of the list.
I agree to you to some extent. No doubt CIA is the most advanced secret intelligence agency but you know, the incident of 911 that was attack on world trade centre, ruined its reputation. I think it was the biggest crime of century. The economy of USA was ruined and whole world was affected badly.
isi is best intelligence agency
i am proud
what fake…mossad ranks higher in any intel agency..pak agencies are so stupid !! they couldn’t even locate osama in their own country lol hahahahahah stupid author of this post…go get a life
osama was on his own will to deal with problems actually this was the plan of isi.
CIA replaces leaders of other countries on their own and controls them like this. Nobody else can compete with that. You should have CIA at #1, then start the rest of the list at #3…
Hey Ramzi, how can you say this? You have no idea what is going on inside. It is all secret. You think what happens in Hollywood films is reality. No way, bro. CIA can’t change leaders of other countries. Although it has great power and influence but still it is not possible. CIA have direct contact with U.S. policy makers and leader but not with that of other countries.
if isi is the best how did someone as dangerous as osama ‘fucker’ bin laden was able to hide near an isi quaters…isi is just waste of money and manpower
ISI will always remain on the top *Pakistan………………………..Zindabad*
there is no way mossad will be no 10 and CIA play second it cant happen. i totally disagree.
Mr Craiger please try to digest this fact…
GOD Bless Pakistan
Pakistan,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Zindabad,:)

In actual Pakistani ISI is on no. 3. And indian Raw is on 16. So still there is a difference if this is created by Pakistani guy
