Oikay, I'm pretty sure that we haven't learnt what the N.I.D is ACTUALLY known as, during all the years this agency (made-up, I'm pretty sure, or at least not nearly as extensive as TPTB have shown it to be in the Stargate shows) has been presented to us the viewers.
But I'm just wondering - do you think we actually WILL be told one day? It was just blurted out "NID" one day and people on the show knew what was being referred to - well thats fine; its a somewhat chequered, shadowy civilian oversight agency, with maybe a little bit more power and ability to do badness than it should have.
Great, but we pretty much know all these real organizations -
CIA = central intelligence agency
DIA = defense intelligence agency
NSA = national security agency
FBI = federal bureau of investigation
etc etc etc
I really doubted I would have had any luck, but ran a search in a pretty popular acronym finder website, and this is what I got.
I'm leaning towards something like "national intelligence division" or "national intelligence directorate". Okay yeah, it mightn't seem like a big gap to be filled in, considering the other things TPTB in their infinite wisdom haven't yet shared with us yet, but it's been bugging me for a little while now and I thought I'd just share my gripe with y'all
Okay then, thanks for reading I'd be interested to know what others think about this 'semi'-issue
