palegray.net writes "US News and World Report is running an article about increased spy agency use of online sources. Turning to well-known destinations such as NPR and Wikipedia, folks in the intel world are increasingly filling their reports with information gleaned from the public domain. From the article: "A few days ago, a senior officer at the Pentagon called his intelligence officer into his office. The boss had heard a news report about China while driving to his office and wanted some answers. It wasn't a tough assignment, given the news coverage, but there was a hitch. 'There was plenty of information in the public domain about the topic,' recalls the intelligence officer, a 10-year veteran. 'And yet, if there wasn't some classified information cited in my report, the boss would never believe it was accurate.'""
