 a technocrat's guide to religion
Then Ferguson waxes technocratic in a quintessential way: “I am an engineer so the model I am thinking about is rather like the provincial acts regulating the practice of engineering,” he said.
But what the technocratic Bob Ferguson fails to see from behind his veil of technical equivalence is that Catholicism already operates like any technical discipline.

 Musharraf picks U.S.-favorite technocrat as PM -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
By appointing a technocrat he trusts, with close relations to Washington, as Prime Minister — once he gains a seat in the National Assembly in less than three months — Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf proved, time and again, he was adamant on imposing his own version of democracy on the Asian, Muslim state.
Analysts believe that by launching a technocrat and a trusted colleague like Aziz as the next Prime Minister of the country, President General Musharraf has shown his mistrust as well as disrespect to politicians.
Aziz, Finance Minister since Musharraf took over the country in 1999, is a former banker and is considered the most trusted aide to the President.
