NPR, the CIA and your MLIS

NPR had an interesting story on Monday, November 7th on the CIA using librarians to monitor facebook and twitter accounts overseas.  Robert Segal specifically mentioned that the CIA employs lots of people with MLIS degrees.  I can't wait until I get mine.  So here's an actual application of our Web 2.0 skills.  Here's the link to the story and audio on NPR or you can listen to it here too:
