...Blackburn. "That's a crucial component of brand editing." Wikipedia's editors typically strike links to anything that smacks of propaganda, but says Blackshaw, "I'd be surprised if Wikipedia pushes back.

No finished intelligence product for decision makers is generated from Intellipedia - National Intelligence Estimates (NIEs) are still written the old-fashioned way, authored and circulated for peer review and consensus. When Tom Fingar tried in 2006 to produce an NIE on Nigeria using Intellipedia, he failed because it generated a stream of information rather than a formal thesis and was taken over by the traditional system...
