Secretive Israeli Spy Agency Bloggers

Wow, even the Israeli spy Agency Shin Bet, long one of the most secretive operations in the world, is blogging. According to this article in the Globe and Mail, the agency has recruited 4 bloggers to put a human face on their work. But as we often find when secretive government or corporate agencies go public, there's a catch: the anonymous spies reveal little about their work and the agency and a lot about their personal lives. They talk about job satisfaction, patriotism and good salaries. They invite you to check out the Shin Bet recruitment web page. Tellingly, the blogs were set up in order to attract young high tech workers to the agency as it moves more and more from on-the-ground spying to spying via data collection.
