FutureMap: a real-money information futures market for predicting terrorist action. I think this was actually a pretty good idea. It created a reliable channel for collating the resources of the open source intelligence population, the first step in reforming our broken intelligence infrastructure. As a secondary effect, it would have also created a channel for informants to get paid for reliable anonymous tips, without the risks associated with becoming a CIA asset. Too bad some sensationalist reactionaries threw a hissy-fit and had this experiment deep-sixed before it could even get off the ground.
