Top Secret America: A Hidden World, Growing Beyond Control
The Washington Post 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 .. .. Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States. An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances. http://projects.washingtonpost.com/top-secret-america/articles/a-hidden-world-growing-beyond-control/ <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103581505186&s=3805&e=001jYH9p2v7vd8FdyqjgsOcxnYeRIUyeZi3fL_Dkn4L8L5GAsx4zCZX_2RE1TW_cT0MwTtljk5MzTIv5oRqw8-ROZBP878t_-opUZcv-3rwOkkJo4Yn58Ih-A2rot0uOgvj7634dTjp6QBxWHJ3jRKCRBiynEv6XqShJugTuYuBcmiioto5vO2lrKQg7bD7pEA4wOAhcJmB5QmRVZvCx-D86Z1l-S9JZzp3>
