“..has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.”
BS pure and simple... there’s folks that know exactly what’s going on they just don’t want us to know how much it cost etc.

It's like the WP felt a need to tell us what we already know, the intelligence bureaucracy is too big for its own good.

Imagine that, the WaPo complaining about the same Homo-Leninists who they covet and cover while participating in the political class status racketeering just to keep their jobs.
Thats rich, Beltway Boys pretending not to be Butt boys of the Potomac.

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work. Okay, I'm still working my way through this article, but I'd like to know how many of them are keeping tabs on, and developing strategies for dealing with, our treasonous press and Impostor in Chief.

If anyone thinks this “leak” wasn’t orchestrated by THIS administration, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Once again, let’s blame Bush (except let’s forget about the fact that we weren’t attacked again post 9/11).
Treasonous.

Right. I’m about half-way through this big whine about George Bush spending $40 billion more than was in the budget to defend the country. Meantime we all know what the Kenyan squatter in the White House has done — and spent.

"Super Users - have the ability to even know about all the department's activities. But as two of the Super Users indicated in interviews, there is simply no way they can keep up with the nation's most sensitive work." Just because Obama has appointed incompetent people to high positions, doesn't mean the high positions aren,t important, at least for a competent administration.

All this gov’t super secrecy no one knows about except the WaPost....so why hasn’t this paper told us all about the super super secret empty suit sitting in the white house? He’s costing us trillions.
