There was no CIA in the immediate post WWII era. It was not formed until 47 and had no teeth till 48. The FBI called it that because it was based on inter-service rivalry and crossed into areas that were previously only handled by the FBI. In short they were jealous. For every major bungle there were 100's of successful operations.
