I often say, tongue firmly in cheek, that if Google doesn't know something it is not meant to be known - or exist. Obviously this is not true. I would hate to think that in the future if "intelligence" does not exist in an NSA database then it does not exist. Unfortunately, I feel this will be the case. Let's take the recent Boston Bombing, not only did the US get a tip off but certainly they had sigint from various sources. Were they able to connect the dots? No, they were not. "Intelligence" is more than just rows in a database.
