James Bond ...blogging on the edge of chaos?

I came across an interesting article by D. Calvin Andrus, Ph.D., of the Office of Application Services (within the CIA). This paper was so well received in 2004, that it won the Intelligence Community's Galileo Award. The paper is titled The Wiki and the Blog: Toward a Complex Adaptive Intelligence Community. This type of thinking means that the stovepipes are starting to come down, albeit rather slowly, and new forms of communication are seriously evaluated. Here is a sample: "Enabling intelligence officers across the community to express and share opinions may be one of the largest paradigm shifts for the Intelligence Community. It will be uncomfortable for some because it will be in the blogosphere where the community will ride the edge of chaos. The blogosphere probably will obey the 99-to-1 Edison rule ("Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration" - from Wikipedia quotes). For every ninety-nine mediocre ideas, there will be likely only be one brilliant idea. The few brilliant ideas, however, are worth the investment of many mediocre (and chaotic) ones. It is these few brilliant ideas that will provide the direction for the community to adapt to the changing national security environment. The few brilliant ideas will survive in the market place of ideas. As individual blogs comment on each other's ideas, the brilliant ideas will spread as feedback throughout the community. Individuals, recognizing the brilliance, will respond. From this self-organized response will emerge the adaptive behavior required of the Intelligence Community. "
