Facebook a front for CIA data collection? Hmm.

"to collect as much data on the U.S. government as I could, convert it to RDF, and build a site and a web service that make it possible to explore that data"

"The Web sites of Senator John Kerry and the Democratic National Committee run mainly on the technology of the computing counterculture: open-source software that is distributed free, and improved and debugged by far-flung networks of programmers."
