Israel's Shin Bet launches blog

The Israeli secret service has launched a new venture: it has started to carry an internet diary, or blog, written by four of its agents.

The agents discuss how they were recruited, and what sort of work they perform; they also answer questions sent in by members of the public.

The tone of the blog is chatty, at times even facetious.

[ ... ]

The blogs are intended to draw members of the public into other areas of the Shin Bet website - in particular the recruitment section.

Some of the positions are advertised with a red star and the slogan "hot job".

There is the opportunity to work on what are described as "irregular missions"; to work on one's own; and to acquire a variety of "special skills".
