A MILBLOG
mudminilogo1.jpg
The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

All Your Innernets belongs to Us

Greyhawk

Top intelligence officials discover innernets:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 - Top intelligence officials announced on Tuesday the creation of a new agency, the Open Source Center, to gather and analyze information from the Web, broadcasts, newspapers and other unclassified sources around the world.

The premise of the center, announced as part of the restructuring of the nation's intelligence agencies by the director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte, is that some critical information to understand threats to national security requires neither spies nor satellites to collect.

This "open source" information can include anything from sermons broadcast from radical mosques in the Middle East to reports in the provincial Chinese press of possible avian flu outbreaks. Such material has often been undervalued by government policymakers, in part because it lacks the cachet of information gathered by more sensitive methods, intelligence officials said.

I once tried to get some Intel guys in Iraq to read Iraqi blogs but they weren't interested. But now I'd like to be the first to welcome all readers from the Intel services to the 20th century. Keep up the good work guys!

(BTW, check out ebay.com - you can get some cool stuff. It's at http://www.ebay.com)

Update: This is still Gr3yhaWK posyting, not a CIA hacKerZ. The CIa is good On innernets and I was kiddingz (LOL).
