Must-read post about how when it comes to the government and AIG, "the equation of power and accountability is all screwed up."

David Brooks makes the case for a thoughtful centrism as a balance against Obama's Washington. Much better than mindless centrism, but I think this would have worked better as, say, a more in-depth, specific blog post than as a newspaper op-ed.
