Reached the introduction of Section 31 in Deep Space Nine and even in context it seems like a lazy way to both critique the Federation and compartmentalise that critique compared to the more nuanced and better criticism of the Federation that the show has already done.

Anyway, I see CBS are producing a Star Trek: Section 31 show and that sounds like a very post-2001 way to explore justifying American imperialism.
