This is wrong in so many ways it’s pretty amazing. For one thing, Intellipedia runs on MediaWiki, which is open source software created by Wikipedia, not Google.
While we dont have as much evidence as we would like — in these realms, we never have as much evidence as we would like — the evidence we do have suggests that Google and the Agency have a long and abiding history together.Google is the source of Intellipedia, a version of Wikipedia which allows intelligence professionals to trade information about their targets. We may fairly presume that the Google personnel who have worked on this program must have high security clearances, and that the physical servers are protected by the United States government.Intellipedia was set up in 2006. It would be naive to suggest that the Google/gummint relationship does not stretch back much further. Folks in the intelligence community must have very good reason to trust Google, or they would worry about back doors in the software.

On the other hand, this logo, although completely devoid of factual accuracy, is pretty cool-looking.
