CIA, FBI Push Social Networking for Spies
node7 writes "The FBI, NSA, and CIA are jointly supporting a newly created 'MySpace' for the intelligence community. Named 'A-Space,' the site will contain highly classified material, so naturally, it won't be available to the public. From CNN: '[Michael Wertheimer, assistant deputy director of national intelligence for analysis] demonstrated the program to CNN to show how analysts will use it to collaborate. "One perfect example is if Osama bin Laden comes out with a new video. How is that video obtained? Where are the very sensitive secret sources we may have to put into a context that's not apparent to the rest of the world?" Wertheimer said. "In the past, whoever captured that video or captured information about the video kept it in-house. It's highly classified because it has so very short a shelf life. That information is considered critical to our understanding."'"
Did I read that right? You can put Osama bin Laden's newest music video on your A-Space profile page?
greed@All_Evils:~#
depending on your outlook "A"-space is asking for them to be the butt of a lot of jokes. pun intended
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
MySpace is for kids who want to play the latest emo music and pointless clicky things. I can just imagine spies with anime icons.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Is there a logic behind the name? Do they mean A-Space as in "a space" as in "it's a space, somewhere, but we won't tell you where or whose it is."
Or, do they mean a space for the A-Team.
(Please say it's the second option)
If this signature is witty enough, maybe somebody will like me.
But, he'll have to be careful! You never know if the profile picture is faked and it's really Dr. Evil posting!!
Bin Laden is going to kill himself in a few days. Probably on the 11th... and it most likely won't be a suicide bombing attempt. He's going to leave a long video or note to go with it. Don't know why I've been thinking this recently...
What middle? It will be on an internal government network that is isolated from the internet. The "man in the middle" will be whatever agency is managing this (CIA? NSA? If I were to tell you I'd have to kill you).

you can get in the just use the login Joshua but you need to find the phone # to get in.
They should create a parallel site like Slashdot, called Spydot, where intelligence can be moderated (Score 5: Funny).
