Bezos and the CIA? Yes. They started working together last year. Maybe earlier. Bezos and the CIA's investment arm have sunk a lot of money in a quantum computer called DWave which will make it easier for the NSA to break encryption systems.

Amazon recently landed a $600 million contract to build an entire cloud computing system for the CIA. The company is reportedly staffing up on engineers with top secret clearance. Does Jeff Bezos have top secret clearance? That would be something that the Washington Post might want to think about, considering how much reporting their journalists have done on the topic. A huge CIA contractor is now Dana Priest's boss. Think about that.
