As maneiras novas são needed compartilhar da informação, os oficiais dos E.U. dizem

O CIA é abrir uma ferramenta das comunicações para sua equipe de funcionários, modelada em locais sociais do trabalho em rede tais como Facebook e MySpace, os relatórios financeiros das épocas. O projeto, sabido como o Um-Espaço, aponta melhorar a maneira que os agentes da inteligência comunicam, ele disse.

Os oficiais acreditam que o workplace em linha permitirá que a equipe de funcionários analise mais melhor a informação junto.

Porém para facilitar medos dos trabalhadores da capa interna que têm sua tampa fundida, a participação será voluntária.

Usuários Reticent

A-Space, due to launch in December, will feature web-based email and software recommending issues of interest to the user said Mike Wertheimer, a senior official at the Department for National Intelligence (DNI).

He told the FT that the new infrastructures would help break down some of the physical communications problems in the intelligence community.

“I am unable to send email, and even make secure phone calls, to a good portion of the community from my desktop because of firewalls,” he said.

He added that while it was understandable that some operatives were reticent about sharing information which could pose a risk, the 9/11 attacks had showed that not pooling data could also cost lives.

“We are willing to experiment in ways that we have never experimented before,” he said.

Mr Wertheimer added that while it had looked for collaboration from overseas, foreign intelligence agencies had been “the folks most virulently against” sharing information through an “intelligence library”.

The DNI already operates a collaborative online encyclopaedia - or wiki - for members of the US intelligence community.

And earlier this year the CIA used Facebook to advertise job opportunities within the organisation.
