U.S. Lawmker: U.S. Should Post Intelligence Data on the Internet
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
As mountains of raw intelligence go unanalyzed, the chairman of the House intelligence committee said that posting it on the Internet could speed up translation.
"I would like to get these documents into the public domain in hopes that academics, journalists, bloggers and other interested people can help clear this backlog," Pete Hoekstra said.
"I think the government and the public will benefit from having all these documents translated," he said.
Hoekstra, a Michigan Republican, said he could count on his counterpart in the Senate to agree.
"I believe this is a far better plan than the continued slow translation of documents, which may leave many of these documents unread for decades," he said.
