Perhaps Information should become a separate branch of government. That way, at least we could construct a clean interface with the other branches and prevent the executive branch from having direct, unfettered access. Information is vitally important and I can see the benefits of concentrating information into one place for security and even efficiency reasons but I think that sector needs some kind of overarching framework for access and dissemination to other branches of government and to the People. But, basically, without cooperation of the other branches, Information would be neutered. They would be incapable of acting on the information they possess. We probably don't want it totally controlled by career politicians so it would need a different structure than Congress and we don't want it run by the same people forever so we need a different structure than the Judiciary. And we need a way to look into the black box in a controlled and reliable manner as the People. I am not sure how to structure it. It is just the seed of an idea, but it may be worth some real thought and debate.
