The author is right,a large amount of information is available with the media and in the internet.There is of course a lot of information with the Govt of India,known only to very select people.A lot of information lies unused for a very very long time with the Govt that gradually gets dated or rather outdated when it's time to use. With very little cost anyone can have access to information however closely guarded; in the prevailing atmosphere of looseness and permissiveness. We believe in a truly open society and not the paranoid nationalism of the US. Why CIA, even hard core terrorists can set up, plan and execute their plans with incomplete professionalism and succeed then what to speak of the Intelligence agencies. Like IT maybe we can make a case for FDI in intelligence information and outsource it.
