This move is only possible now, it seems to me, because the entrenched bureacracies are in a weak position to defend their turf. To say the Administration is "creating a new bureacracy" is an oversimplification, probably intentional. How can this be strictly an increase in bureacracy if nearly 100 Congressional committees are threatened by it? Are they not bureacracies? If all of that-ahem-oversight can be consolidated, while at the same time making the information flow more efficient, and uniting under one head the various groups who must meet the post 9-11 priorities, what the heck is wrong--from an organizational standpoint--about that?
But hey, what do I know?
