After trying to find out if this was all true it seems to be a bunch of hearsay. this link (if fails search google print with "Incidence Response Team CIA") seemed to show an "incidence response team" associated with the US Department of Homeland Security but not that it was the official title. I'd love it someone proved me wrong since new trustworthy articles are always good. gren 01:41, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Incident Response Team would make more sense grammatically, and seems to garner a few google hits. Most are related to UFO theories? There might be an encyclopedic topic hiding in there somewhere. Pburka 03:33, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - without evidence, this smells like (teen) original research (spirit). Nandesuka 04:55, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. A quick perusal of a Google search for "Incident Response Team" CIA seems to indicate that that is the proper term, but a look at what comes up in that search indicates that IRTs are ad hoc groupings and not a standard organization. Perhaps an article on the creation of an Incident Response Team and a list of some of them and what they did would be a decent article. John Barleycorn 06:35, July 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. A quick search turned up this biography stating (of course it could be made up too)

Mr. Charette attended the US Naval War College in Newport, RI, where he received a Master’s Degree in National Security and Strategic Studies. In 1985, he was appointed Chief, CIA Counter Terrorist Center, Foreign Liaison Training and Terrorist Incident Response Team (IRT).

It may also have other meanings, as in business[1] and computer security. Mmmbeer 16:56, 24 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment As Mmmbeer alluded, "incident response team" is a common phrase. For instance, a number of state DOTs have incident response teams that specialize in such clandestine and risky missions as clearing overturned tractor trailers. This current content reads like an amateur conspiracy theory, so I'm guessing it should go. Thing is, I can't figure out if "Incident response team" can actually be expanded far enough beyond "An incident response team is a team that responds to incidents" that it wouldn't be just a lengthy dicdef.
