Just days ago someone stated that DKos was likely being monitored by the feds, but the entry scrolled off long before many people had a chance to read it. Tinfoil hat time? Rank paranoia? No, intelligent sleuthing turned up solid evidence.
And today that blog post was confirmed by none other than Bill Gertz at The Washington Times in an article entitled "CIA mines 'rich' content from blogs." It's worth a complete read, but I found it fascinating that data from blogs are now cited in the president's PDBs.
"A lot of blogs now have become very big on the Internet, and we're getting a lot of rich information on blogs that are telling us a lot about social perspectives and everything from what the general feeling is to ... people putting information on there that doesn't exist anywhere else," Mr. Naquin told The Washington Times.
"Eliot A. Jardines, assistant deputy director of national intelligence for open source, said the amount of unclassified intelligence reaching Mr. Bush and senior policy-makers has increased as a result of the center's creation in November.
"'We're certainly scoring a number of wins with our ultimate customer,' said Mr. Jardines, who became the first high-level official in charge of the government's nonsecret intelligence in December."

Hey, let's send the incompetent buffoons some love, shall we?
