He was operations, not data collection. There is a huge copyediting error in that a/b. He says h joked with Mr McKee about the possibility of the terrorists getting him in June 1989, by the strapline clearly says it was in August of that year. McKee was to die on Pan Am 103. Did the CIA have some foreknowlege of his death? If so why? Bob Baer was a CIA officer who wrote an autobiography. He was operations, not data collection.

My thinking here is that Google would only manage the algorithm - Google Inc. would not own or store any data. I also believe that a proper security procedure would reduce or eliminate the possibility of data leaks. My other thought is that a private intelligence company might have a lot more success stopping terrorism than a big government bureaucracy, and personally I'm comfortable with the notion if it saves lives. Great comment - thanks for sharing. Dragon Blogger – Good call. My thinking here is that Google would only manage the algorithm – Google Inc. would not own or store any data.

Also as a private company do we want the Government to be so reliant on publicly traded companies for such things? This in itself can pose risks.
