no prior to the patriot act it was illegal for CIA and the FBI to share information directly.

Section 203 Para 6

Quote

`(6) Any investigative or law enforcement officer, or attorney for the Government, who by any means authorized by this chapter, has obtained knowledge of the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, or evidence derived therefrom, may disclose such contents to any other Federal law enforcement, intelligence, protective, immigration, national defense, or national security official to the extent that such contents include foreign intelligence or counterintelligence (as defined in section 3 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a)), or foreign intelligence information (as defined in subsection (19) of section 2510 of this title), to assist the official who is to receive that information in the performance of his official duties. Any Federal official who receives information pursuant to this provision may use that information only as necessary in the conduct of that person's official duties subject to any limitations on the unauthorized disclosure of such information.'.

I missed the NSA/FBI/CIA line, I thought you meant all homeland agencies.

Although I suspect there was a reason it was illegal before, I wonder what it was.

Well I can only assume if the CIA were to give credible info on a terrorist for investigation purpouses it would seem as if the CIA were invastigating something on American soil wich for all I've heard they are not allowed to do.  

Either way the Patriot Act isn't a bad bill overall there's a few things that need more oversight and trimming.
