The CIA uncovers a secret: how to look things up on the internet

Not everyone in the intelligence agency derides publicly available information, writes Susan Glasser.
THE CIA now has its own bloggers. In a bow to the rise of internet-era secrets hidden in plain view, the agency has started hosting weblogs with the latest information on topics including North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il's public visit to a military installation (his 38th this year) and the Burmese media's silence on a ministry reshuffle. It even has a blog on blogs, dedicated to finding useful information in the rapidly expanding milieu of online journals and weird electronic memorabilia on the net.
The blogs are posted on an unclassified, government-wide website, part of a rechristened CIA office for monitoring, translating and analysing publicly available information, called the DNI Open Source Centre. The centre, which made its debut this month, marks the latest wave of reorganisation in response to the failures of intelligence collection before the September 11, 2001, attacks.
I don't know why CIA needs to open new websites, all they need to do is read the Threat Matrix.
"Able Danger" information getting loose, might have had something to do with this latest move.
Forgive me for being so slow, I only woke up minutes ago.

Well that's good.
I know I put this link on a couple of my pages awhile back.
