I'm not sure if this is more properly Literary or TV, but I'm looking for a list of fictional spy organizations. Like, who Arnie worked for in True Lies, or U.N.C.L.E. Or even Treadstone, or whatever the assassin project was called in Bourne.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The group in La Femme Nikita was called Section One.
On Alias, Sydney Bristow worked for SD-6 for the first couple seasons.
(Or are you looking for an already-assembled list, which would probably be more help than me just listing off TV trivia?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was wondering if Wikipedia had it, but it doesn't seem so. They do have a list of fictional secret agents, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Derek Flint, i.e. Our Man Flint (I originally typed that as "Out Man Flint"), worked for Z.O.W.I.E.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Man I never realized how often people say "the greater good" until I saw Hot Fuzz. Now I can't resist parroting it back.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
In the Bond books (and first few movies?) the bad guys were SMERSH. In the movies (or the later ones) they were SPECTRE.
And of course, KAOS were the baddies on Get Smart.
