#2 Aware that such a system could be vulnerable to a mole, officials say computers will flag users who download masses of data or repeatedly seek information outside their work area

Too late.

#3 The older intelligence guys would rather have a dozen 9/11 failures than give up one inch to the real enemy: competing intelligence agencies. And they don't understand computers, either. I read a piece about the internal systems that the CIA guys use when searching for information, and it's pathetic. They can't even use AND or OR when specifying search terms.

#4 My information is dated, but neither the CIA nor any of the military agencies had a truly working information-sharing program in the 1980's that actually portrayed fused intelligence data. Everything was compartmented, and you had to have six or seven different clearances to see even a small amount of data. The fit's going to really hit the shan in about five years when we have 50-60 drones, a dozen satellites, and 200 ground stations all pumping out data every day. The way it was done 30 years ago isn't viable today, and the way things are done today won't be what's needed five years from now. Something's got to change, and if it takes getting rid of some of the deadwood at CIA, DIA, NGIS, NSA, or the military departments, so be it. Another 9/11 is intolerable.
