Finished browsing those more than 100 pages of 'academic' garbage. What's the bottom line according to you? The author is lying about the relationship between bureaucracies like the nsa/cia/fbi etc and bureaucracies like the US 'congress'. Both bureaucracies fully cooperate and are sides of the same coin. The author is of course pretty dishonest about the whole thing. At times it seems at if he's critical of the state while at the same time constantly praises the 'national security' bureaucracy. "The benefits derived by the United States from double government —enhanced technical expertise, institutional memory and experience, quick-footedness, opaqueness in confronting adversaries, policy stability, and insulation from popular political oscillation and decisional idiosyncrasy —need hardly be recounted." Aren't his nsa buddies great. All in all a long piece of statist propaganda from harvard university using the very traditional americunt propaganda technique of posing as 'liberal 'libertarian' 'critics' of the system.
