Facebook for the CIA and FBI

A new social networking website, known as A-Space, was released on September 22, 2008 for the use of the CIA and FBI. A-Space will be used to share information as well as opinions of those issues between intelligence personnel with proper security clearance.

The goal of the A-Space is to protect the United States by assessing all the information available to the spy agencies.

The information on A-Space is highly classified and will not be available to the public. This will allow analysts to share data that they have never been able to share before.

So, now when the boss tells them to start using Facebook at work don’t get worried they are slacking off…they are social networking in the secret world of spying!!

Does anyone see this as a potential problem? If you work at the FBI headquarters in DC, you can't take your cell phone into work if it has a camera feature. So why would the FBI and the CIA use Facebook??????? Another government blunder?

Nightmare, this is simply a nightmare on this one. I hope they fire the person that came up with this, or even made it public. Chinese and Russian hackers will have this wide open in 15 minutes.
