I'm working my way through the data and the research by Dana Priest and William M. Arkin at the Washington Post about how the US bureaucracy has exploded since 9/11. It's the post-explosion explosion.
I'll write a longer post on it later today and respond to Brooks' Big Brother op-ed. Did he actually read the Priest and Arkin article?

Did he actually read the Priest and Arkin article?
This question can be asked about almost any Brooks column where he’s “reporting” on someone else’s research. It’s one of the main reasons (along with his tendency to just make things up) why I think he’s almost never worth reading or paying attention to.
