Article: CIA,FBI Push 'Facebook for Spies'

The CIA,FBI has been creating a site that is similar to social networks such as myspace and facebook. Only it is just for secret agent spies to share their thoughts and opinions on different things happening in the world. This caught my eye when I seen the title and I thought it was interesting because it seems that everything is turning to interent and social networks. It is pretty strange to me whenever secret service agents are turning to it. I had never heard about this before I seen this article, so I decided to see what it was about. After reading this article, I learned that the spies just want to do this, so they don't miss out on any important information other spies might put out there and they are releasing the site on September 22. Also, it has taken them months to work on it and get the security right because it will not be allowed to be viewed by anybody but secret agents. What I want to know though is, what if some smart interent person is able to get onto the sight and access all that information? Then what would happen?

This is a really interesting article, and I agree. What if a secret service agents spills the bean on some secret plot, drill, or event and someone hacks into one of the agents information. Then what will happen?

Kayla, your blog looks really good. You are commenting on the article exactly as I asked you to. The only thing you need to add is the link for your article. Good job!

By the way, this is an interesting article. I wander if the spies are as addicted to their 'facebook' as students are.
