There's a quiet revolution underway at the CIA and its sister agencies. A new generation of analysts, determined to drag their Cold War–era colleagues into the world of Web 2.0 information-sharing, have created Intellipedia, a classified version of Wikipedia they say is transforming the way U.S. spy agencies handle top-secret information by fostering collaboration across Washington and around the world. Rolled out in 2006 to skeptical veterans at CIA headquarters in Langley, Va., Intellipedia has grown to a 900,000-page magnum opus of espionage, handling some 100,000 user accounts and 5,000 page edits a day, according to the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Great, for 2 years the government had this nice little program going on in secret, and in 0Bama's first 100 days, it's out in the press. Let the hacking attempts begin in 3-2-1.

This was the first that I'd heard of it, but it's not surprising that anything to do with intelligence gathering/interpretation has been spread around.
