Could it be that DoD is finally getting how to harness Web 2.0
technologies?
I don't know, but the Intelligence Community has been harnessing Web
2.0 technologies for a while now, and making them available to many
components across the US government.
See Intelink:
NIPRNet/DNI-U: http://www.intelink.gov
SIPRNet: http://www.intelink.sgov.gov
JWICS: http://www.intelink.ic.gov
Wiki, blogs, RSS, tagging, instant messaging, video/picture/document
sharing, iPhone-compatible email, and more, available on three
security domains, and available for use by anyone in defense,
intelligence, law enforcement, homeland security, or diplomatic areas.
You can even access the unclassified network and tools from home or
other remote sites using Intelink Remote Access: http://ra.intelink.gov
All of these tools are fully Mac/Safari-compatible, available now, and
centrally supported by the DNI's Intelligence Community Enterprise
Services (ICES).
This is a really good briefing on the Web 2.0 and social software
movement within the Intelligence Community:

For those in the DC area and interested in moving these tools forward,
a reminder that the 2008 WIRe and ICES Conference is scheduled for
8-10 September at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, MD, hosted by CIA's World Intelligence
Review (WIRe) and the DNI's Intelligence Community Enterprise Services
(ICES). The theme of this conference is:
How does a member of the IC successfully perform his or her job in an
enterprise information environment that is ever-growing in volume and
complexity?
An expanding community of users, newly-exposed Web services, user-
generated content, multimedia sharing, the broader reach of cross-
domain solutions, and attribute-based access controlled systems are
making the task of discovering, connecting, and vetting information
evermore challenging yet crucial to our success.
Conference registration is free, and some space is still available.
This event will have many interesting speakers, panels, and topics,
and direct interaction with peers involved in emerging information
technologies from across the IC. The entire conference will be held at
the UNCLASSIFIED level. Those already attending the DNI Open Source
Conference on 11-12 September may be interested in including this
event as well.
For more information, and a conference agenda, see:

Anyone interested in attending, feel free to contact me for info.
There will be a lot of users of Apple technologies here as well...
