Reading between the lines it looks like this is for analysts only and not operatives. To this extent it's closer to the Intelligence Wiki that they have been using for some time, just with the social networking elements added in. Kari / Amy / Richard - we've worked with some government departments in the UK and expect that encryption / security features will be high (only access from certain machines which require a fingerprint / key to use for example).
