There are benefits to concentrating information into one place.

We obviously have the technology to concentrate and analyze vast amounts of information. These capabilities have the potential to be very powerful.

Does direct access to these capabilities shift the power too far toward the Executive?

Is it even feasible to have an Information Branch?

Can the Information Branch be effectively neutered without cooperation with the other branches or would it hold too much innate power?

What checks and balances would an Information Branch have with the other Branches?

How could such a branch be made answerable to the People without compromising its purpose?

Should positions be elected? Appointed? A draft? A mixture?
