	IRmep: Brooking on the Absurd
		Brookings has, for its more than 80 years in existence, made a specialty out of research that is of use and interest to policymakers, and also to informing the public about policy issues.
		A content analysis of Brookings press quotes reveals that issues of low to no relevance at Brookings were the likely costs of postwar occupation, implications for U.S. credibility if WMD intelligence was flawed, and the new era that would be created by a democracy launching a "preemptive" war the rest of the world protested.
		Brookings and others are very careful about hiding this information, because if brought to the light of day, it would reveal unique insights about the interests that shape US policy.

	The Brookings Institution
		At one level, such recurring incidents typify a military institution that (as distinct from the individuals who constitute it) is seriously diseased—characterized not by an ethos of duty, honor, and country, but by parochialism, a steady undercurrent of chest-thumping machismo, and a disturbing degree of self-serving advocacy and duplicity.
		Such incidents constitute a form of collective institutional disobedience apparently too subtle for most of us to recognize for what it is—the outgrowth of an institution that has lost its identity, that no longer has confidence in or respect for those it is supposed to serve.
		In the final analysis, the very viability and vitality of the institutions that make up the civil-military triad—their capacity, that is, to cope with and act purposefully on their governing domestic and international environments—depend fundamentally on their ability to measure up to the expectations they have of one another.

		Robert Brookings, a high school dropout who got his start as a clothespin salesman, came to be a very successful businessman, and promoted progressivism as a form of enlightened self-interest for the business class.
		Corporations accounted for $3.3 million of Brookings $21 million budget in 1997, but this figure is misleadingly low: Brookings is blessed with a sizable endowment that takes care of almost one-third of its budget, and it receives hefty fees for conducting seminars for executives on how to maneuver in Washington.
		Brookings' leaders seek desperately to be "relevant," but they are so often parroting the conventional wisdom, fearing that they are outmatched in the media by the right-wing Heritage Foundation, that they are sidetracked from doing the strategic planning for elites that has made Brookings so influential.
