I've been a BIG fan of Mr.Brin since reading the "Ender's War"
"Ender's War" is by Orson Scott Card, who is also a card-carrying democrat, but who very much supports President Bush.

I think that he urged all to avoid voting for Democratic Party candidates this past election
Er, No. He hates President Bush with a purple passion. He has some respect for conservatives, but thinks that our party is controlled by the most extreme elements. His list of new legislation ideas was published just after the Democratic Party retook the House.

If you can walk into the Commanding General / Controlling Secretary Office without an appointment and have an honest discussion, you can be EFFECTIVE otherwise, you are a bureaucrat!
Do you have any idea how we might ensure the IGUS retained that kind of respect and influence?

I am so BUSTED!!! You are absolutely correct, I did conflate Mr Brin and Mr Card in this post - need strong drugs. Please ignore all such stupidity on my part, and I do agree that Mr Brin and Mr Card are at the opposite ends of the current political spectrum. At least I was right about the "Uplift Wars" series (I Hope). As far as a US Cabinet-Level Inspector Generalship - Would take a real strong executive and willing legislature - no time soon!
