CIA buys stuff from Google. So what?

Much ado is being made of this Times Online article which talks about the CIA buying Google's search technology and using Wikis to sort and share information on potential suspects.

From a tech policy standpoint, all I have to say is: big f-ing deal! so what?

Google sells a product. A damn good product. Wikis are useful for collaborating on sharing information. Thousands of us use them every day. Millions for Google. 

If the Federal Government wants to have better tools to process the massive volumes of information, what's to stop them from using the best vendor out there? We should be proud that the best technology is still American, and those free-market junkies should be doing backflips that the "market" produced something so superior it is better than anything that the American intelligence community can come up with.

From the TImes article:

Google has been recruited by US intelligence agencies to help them better process and share information they gather about suspects.

Agencies such as the National Security Agency have bought servers on which Google-supplied search technology is used to process information gathered by networks of spies around the world.

Google is also providing the search features for a Wikipedia-style site, called Intellipedia, on which agents post information about their targets that can be accessed and appended by colleagues, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The contracts are just a number that have been entered into by Google's 'federal government sales team', that aims to expand the company's reach beyond its core consumer and enterprise operations.


Why can't people just be glad that we're still buying American? This is not a big deal. Chill out and save your energy for making tinfoil hats. Please.
