In a report from TIMESONLINE (link) the CIA has enlisted the help of google in a project to bring comprehensive information required by spies and other intelligence agencies to bring together data on suspects, targets and other misc. information that is related to the government. Hoping to use the servers that was bought from google and using their search technology they hope to imploy a type of wiki-encyclopedia type of server that agents and others within the government can contribute their information and resources to keep information current and updated. Intellipedia as it is now known will have different levels of security depending on the user's clearance level ranging from top secret, secret, sensitive etc.

To create such a server with an extreme amount of information about terrorists, criminals and other classified information seems like a good idea on paper. But one must wonder about the imposed risk of having such vital national security information accessible over the internet. Now don't get me wrong I am sure one must pass a lot security to be able to access the server but has that really stopped hackers from trying at the very least? I would think now, we should all know by now that code is not perfect and there is no such thing as the perfect system or else everyone would be running an OS that is bug free and hackers would be non-existent because there would be nothing to exploit. So I could only stress the importance of keeping such information out of the reach of those who could use it against us. One can only wonder what type measures these agencies that are in control of the server plan to do to keep such important national security information out of the hands of those no entitled to using it.
