Reporter's Notebook

Assignment

What are other examples of the intelligence game getting updated for a connected world? Do they warrant further inquiry? Should we open up assignments devoted exclusively to them?


Background

Crowdsourced Intelligence

For most Webophiles, the benefits of Wiki technology seems clear. But, most examples center on the private sector. What happens when the government gets involved? U.S. intelligence agencies have become involved in the open source movement with Intellipedia. Is this a good thing? Or, is it even possible to have "open" technology in an area of life dependent on secrets?

NewAssignment.Net contributor Kevin Friedl explored this issue in his piece "Spying Goes Open Source."

Also, check out Wikileaks.org, the highly controversial platform for whistleblowers.
