Well, obviously you haven't much experience with how governments look from the 
inside.

Ministries and departments have different and conflicting policies regarding 
some of their overlapping responsibilities, and the flow of information is a 
real problem. Add to that some personal animosities and ambitions and you get 
a clusterfuck of an organisation.

A clusterfuck leaving quite a lot of space for projects like Tor.
