Sounds like a good idea to me ...
On the subject of our intelligence failures, Orrin Judd writes:
....Forget the spies, end the secrecy, become transparent, and move towards the Poindexter open information market idea. Heck, make it like a blog. Post all the information that we can gather on countries, movements, etc. in central sites and let folks openly add to or criticize what's there. Have CIA analysts be referees--removing garbage and steering discussions of interesting points and so forth. The closed shop, which we've used since WWII, has been a complete failure. Try the opposite.Posted by John Weidner at October 5, 2003 10:20 AM
