Secret Intelligence Service MI6
In the Bond films, Felix Leiter is the face of the CIA. He is represented as reasonably skilled, but his friend James Bond from MI6 is clearly a superior agent and always takes the lead. In reality, MI6 and CIA are equally capable and they work closely to carry out espionage and covert actions abroad. However, the CIA is larger and better funded. The US-UK special relationship in intelligence dates back to World War II. Although it was strained in mid-century when Soviet moles were discovered within MI6, it remains strong today. |
