Kim Taipale discussed fighting counterterrorism using information technology at a panel “Counterterrorism 2.0: Using IT to Connect the Dots,” at the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation in Washington, DC on February 23, 2010.
"The Christmas day terrorist attempt has provided a stark warning that our nation’s intelligence community still suffers from "human and systemic failures." In fact, nearly a decade after the 9-11 attacks, intelligence officers still lack the kinds of sophisticated analytical software tools that help automatically connect dots to enable individual intelligence officers to do a better job."
