Bazaars in the Government Cathedral

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tithe-day-is-april-15 dept.

guanxi writes: "This article by James Fallows in The Atlantic is one of the most interesting I've read all year. It describes how innovators in government are applying the concept of the Bazaar: The many eyes of 'Open-Source Intelligence' movement that provides better intelligence than classified sources, and a b2b-like marketplace created by World Bank employees that distributes aid more efficiently than the bureaucratic process."

    It doesn't sound like open source intelligence at all.
    The sources are still secret - but some of the results are made public faster.

    But did anyone really expect open intelligence sources?

      My own intelligent mind feels that open source intelligence isn't very intelligent.

  4. Idi Amin, former dictator, dead at 77 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Genocidal and cannibalistic former dictator Idi Amin was found dead in his Saudi Arabian home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to tyranny and despotism. Truly a Ugandan icon.
