Link: "Double-Time March To War"
Original story.
Found on Michael Moore's "Mike's Latest News" archives, most of the piece takes the mainstream media to task for failing to challenge Bush on his war on Iraq. But the most interesting paragraph in it only has to do indirectly with Bush:
Everybody who's ever worked in a large organization knows the difficulty of moving unwelcome information up the chain of command inside hierarchical bureaucracies. Nobody's eager to tell his boss' boss something that person doesn't want to hear. The stronger the command structure, i.e. military and quasi-military bureaucracies, the harder it gets to push bad news to the top. It's one big reason communism never worked.
Above anything in Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine (which I generally liked), this strikes me as insightful. It's just a really cool observation, I think.
Job search update:
It continues to go badly. Getting fed up with this town, may have to go elsewhere.
