Sciam.com has an article about the U.S. CIA’s technology incubator, In-Q-Tel, “a private not-for-profit venture-capital firm whose funding

offices in the Washington, D.C., area and Silicon Valley, spends a lot of time doing ‘terrain mapping’ — reviewing
open-source information on the Internet or in trade literature.”
