In yet another of these mainstream media smear stories I noticed this aside:
"Earlier this year, a long investigative series in the Washington Post revealed that more than 854,000 people working for the US government now hold classified-material clearance – more than 1.5 times the entire population of Washington, DC. “The top-secret world the government has created in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive,” the Post concluded, “that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programmes exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the work.”
