Spies have not caught up with the Nerds



This article reveals that all of the three letter intelligence agencies are still woefully far behind us nerds who use instant messaging, email, and blogs to keep up with friends and family or to work on virtual projects with others. What we take for granted is impossible to do if you work for one of these agencies acoording to this article. While not a surprise, it is disappointing to read that this is a reality. I would have reacted the same way this new hire at one of the agencies did. He was extremely disappointed after being hired to find the limitiations of his computer. Things he took for granted at home on his own PC were impossible at his new workstation. How sad that we are spending money dropping bombs in Iraq when our real salvation lies in a combination of a strong defense but an even stronger intelligence capability. That, of course as we say, is IMHO.
