Jon Udell.  The government, and especially the FBI, needs a weblog network.

>>>Such an overlay network needn't, of course, intersect with public blogspace. But purely internal use of existing low-tech weblog software could reproduce the same effect: a knowledge network with human routers. Would it be perfectly secure? Of course not. But in the end, what's the greater risk? That the enemy might discover we had connected the dots and have to change its plans? Or that we have no hope of connecting the dots at all?<<< [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

My thoughts exactly. Combine this with an internal thesaurus so that everyone is using the same terminology, allow for searching by keyword and phrase (google appliance anyone?) And get all of the departments feeding new their data into it as well as having teams archiving old data in the new format and you are set.
