Another thought-provoking post by Juan Freire or Why doesn't the Spanish intel agency skip to the present?

I found another thought-provoking post by Juan Freire today (while vacationing in Panama, physically in Albrook Mall in front of Gelarti where I happened to come across a wireless connection :) called: Innovación en las agencias de inteligencia: EEUU vs. España or Intelligence agency innovation: USA vs. Spain

the key paragraph is the last one which states:

O sea, el CNI está dando los mismos pasos que las agencias estadounidenses dieron hace ya varias décadas. Buscan en la universidad española el desarrollo de herramientas informáticas y sistemas de gestión de la información. Pero la universidad en España es el “mundo 1.0” por excelencia tanto por el tipo de herramientas que se utilizan como por los modelos de colaboración con los que trabajan y, especialmente, por su comprensión del mundo que nos rodea. Puede ser anecdótico, pero el artículo presenta como uno de los grandes objetivos de la colaboración entre universidades y CNI la edición de una revista semestral sobre inteligencia, por supuesto en papel!!!. Desconozco cuales son los objetivos prioritarios de nuestros espías pero harían bien en “perder” un poco de tiempo en espiar a sus colegas americanos, o al menos en leer el NY Times (ya que blogs y wikis seguramente no sean fuentes demasiado fiables).

translation:

In other words, the CNI (Spanish Intel Agency) is taking the same steps that the US Intelligence Agencies took several decades ago. They are looking to the Spanish University for information tools and systems... But the University of Spain is "world 1.0" in excellence as well as for the types of tools they use like their collaboration methods and especially for their understanding of the world around us. It may be ironic, but the article presents the paper magazine issued every semester as one of the great collaboration objective!!! [Juan] is unaware of [their] spies objectives, but they would do well by saving a little time by spying on their US colleagues or at least reading the NY Times (since blogs and wikis surely can't be trusted).

All I can say is I agree! Actually wouldn't it get us to Intel 3.0, if we (all "good" intel agencies) could all work together? What a concept? ;-)
