The Washington Post has published a phenomenal piece of investigative journalism: a long, detailed, and very interesting expose on the U.S. intelligence industry (overall website; parts 1, 2, and 3; blog; Washington reactions; top 10 revelations; many many many blog comments and reactions; and so on).

It's a truly excellent piece of investigative journalism. Pity people don't care much about investigative journalism -- or facts in politics, really -- anymore.
