The Washington Post released its compendious study of the parallel topography and the sprawling landscape of
Top Secret America. It's a very clever read. The two-year project concludes that the forces to combat terrorism have grown so large as to be unwieldy, information is not promulgated nor shared for coordination and triangulation, and petty tyrranies and turf-battles not only are squandering the whole enterprise with redundancy but also inviting warring shadow-factions to rise up.
No creature is better at job-preservation by sustaining need than government bureaucrats and job-security could turn vicious. Maybe this is not as sensational or surprising as the revelations of Deepthroat but maybe it can cue public attention and bring about reform to a problem that is endemic to the US government and cull some unneeded duplication and coveted red-tape.
