A special report on the American intelligence services in this week's Economist quotes the 1st-century Roman satirist, Petronius Arbiter, who said:
"We tend to meet any new situation in life by reorganising...And what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation."
An apt quote, perhaps, given today's announcements at the the BBC and the United Nations.
