Two points seemed to contradict eachother. The first was cutting classified sysadmin positions by 90%. the second was requiring doubling up for work on classified systems.

Does this mean that the sysadmins will each be responsible for 20x as much information or work? With such a workload how can the doubling up be effective?

I guess my rule is that when confronted with a crisis, organizations will usually react in such a way as to preserve or even exacerbate all pre-existing problems.
