The thing is, if I worked for the Pentagon, I could totally see myself and at least one or two of the hackerly managers I've worked with coming up with that "terror exchange" idea, thinking it was a great idea, pure genius, an off-beat way to trawl a little extra intelligence from the global hivemind or whatnot. We'd hack it up and launch it without giving thought about what it would look like to the rest of the world.

If the crazy kids who thought this up just got their notices today, I hope they put this misadventure front-and-center on their résumés; I reckon they'd have no trouble finding interesting jobs with the correctly-humored.
