[NVMojo]

Really ...we should bombard the Brookings Institute with letters complaining...

News Advisory:

WHAT: A Brookings Briefing: Rumsfeld's Revolution at Defense

WHEN: Tuesday, July 19, 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

WHERE: The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., Washington, D.C.

DETAILS: Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has earned a place in history for his ambitious effort to transform the defense department into a robust organization during two major ground wars. Senior Fellow Paul Light, in his recently published policy brief, "Rumsfeld's Revolution at Defense," describes the secretary of defense as a bold bureaucratic reformer determined to complete a top-to-bottom overhaul of one of the oldest government agencies. However, as Light argues, Rumsfeld's reforms are still at risk and far from complete. "Rumsfeld has made a very large organizational bet against the many futures his department and nation face," writes Light. Given the indefinite nature of the war in Iraq, the stakes could not be higher.

3. More like Devolution of Defense.

The military can't take much more of the Rumsfield revolution I think.
