I really really hope that Big Journalism will go after this story in a big way. I've just done a little research and discovered that Bill Arkin was a key player with the Soviet front org ISP in the 1980–an org that assisted none other than the CIA traitor Philip Agee, The very idea that the Wa Po would let such a marxist joker anywhere near intel reporting is a complete joke–kind of like putting Josef Stalin in charge of Human rights reporting. What in the hell were they smoking! Dana Priest's husband was also a big fan of Agee's by the way.

I honestly don't know why the WaPo and this journalist/writer is trying to help the enemies of the country. But I guess it is just like every thing else these days: it's all about what they can squeeze out of if for them selves. Damn the country, damn national security, damn the people…..

If the system working? Well, we haven't been hit again now have we. But with an interactive map showing every single government and private contract entity in the country, that certainly could change.

But do we really think that Dana is concerned with out of control government spending? A loss of civil liberties thanks to the new post 911 BigBrother?

Here's what I think is really going on. Little Miss Dana is trying to construct a new bogeyman for the left to attack, since the military industrial complex is running out of steam. Thus TOP SECRET AMERICA! Trust me, all the little agitprop orgs that her husband is associated with are getting their troops mustered, and their fund raising letters typed. She and the WaPo have thrown together every single agency, contractor and individual in the federal government who require a top secret clearance. Thus, on the list of TWENTY THREE categories created by the post, we find activities as disparate as Counter-IED explosive operations to building security. And, if that's what you're doing, I don't think that it should be a surprise that 850,000 in this country of 300 million have a top secret clearance of some sort. (and hey, if things are so out of control, then how did she come up with that number? Maybe there are people who do know what's going on!)

Where to begin! Well, first , the irony of Dana Priest, (a woman married to William Goodfellow–a man who in the last 40 years has not met a totalitarian Marxist thug he didn't love) using a free press to investigate a "shadow government" is a joke. I've looked at the article. Try that is Cuba honey! Waste fraud and redundancy in the Federal Government!!! Quell Suprise!!!! But what a joke to say that no one controls it all. Congress controls the purse, and the Executive is the boss. DUH. If Obama and the dems in congress don't like it, let them start making cuts.

Long time IC worker, have said for years the same things. When the wall came down NSA and CIA at least should have closed up shop, laid everyone off, and restructured. They are still the exact same organizations with all kinds of appendages tacked on to try to make them work; and they fail.
Furthermore government in general is designed to expand. Nothing ever goes away. It changes its name occasionally but always hies more people. 3 years is tenure and one CANNOT be fired under almost any circumstances. If you have 20 really crappy workers and the job isn't getting done, its easier to hire 20 more than fire even one.

Isn't it the job of Congress to compile and review reports like this? I guess they have been too busy trying to find more creative ways to regulate every aspect of our life and how to tax it.
