If you're high up enough and can keep a secret.

Does this mean that there'll still be dumb press releases after disasters?

I'm thinking the executive branch is really overestimating its importance here. Not even nuclear holocaust will make it go away, boo hoo.

Didn't we get _into_ this mess, because of the government's ability to keep secrets?

(dry tone) '50 to 70 people in an underground bunker'? There's a reason why nuclear war was such a rousing success in the 50's....

A shadow government starring Cheney is perfect. I want to see him in a black cowl. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so proud to introduce to you, our two NEWEST RINGWRAITHS, Dick Cheney and John Ashcroft! These two show a lot of promise!" *ponies snort and shreik*

Regardless of my opinions of the protagonists, especially after seeing a jetliner flown into the Pentagon, I can see why they're trying to make themselves less vulnerable.

The first two sentences from an article in the recent New Yorker:

"In America, we don't have shadow cabinets or governments-in- waiting. What we have instead is 'The West Wing'..."

Oddly enough, it may have all started with "The Dick Act of 1903".
