The name’s Bond, James Bond, and I’m single and looking for “whatever I can get.”

“A-Space,” which is being called a “Facebook for spies,” is officially being launched at the end of the month and is aimed at socially connecting spies across the country, according to an article on CNN.com.

Heads of the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency are encouraging staff to take part in the project saying that it allows agents and analysts to have a voice among the top secret world of spies.

“It’s a place where not only spies can meet, but share data they’ve never been able to share before ... under the protection of an A-Space umbrella.,” said Michael Wertheimer, assistant deputy director of national intelligence for analysis.

Agents will also be able to collect friends as one would on Facebook or MySpace, but no one outside the intelligence communities will ever be able to know, because even that will be labeled top secret.

A-Space will also play a large part in assessing all the information available to the agencies for the protection of the country. With all the information viewed by analysts everyday, it makes it more likely that something could be overlooked.

A prime example was that of the FBI agent who sent an e-mail shortly before Sept. 11, 2001, warning of people who had taken flight lessons and never learned how to land airplanes.
A-Space will strive to make it easier to view all information and for all agents to share important details.

Obviously, the information on A-Space will be classified and only those with proper security clearance will be able to access its information. A-Space creators also ensure that behavior patterns on the site will be monitored as to not allow double agents from stealing America’s secrets.

The brand new Web site has undergone testing for months and is set to be released Sept. 22. The marketing of this new Web site has only made the agencies look silly.

Perhaps they could have just kept this little gem “top secret.”
