I think you need to be careful here as brick veneer is not completely water proof and it must be drained and have breathing room on the back side of the brick. There is an article in the last issue of the Journal of Light Construction on some expensive screw-ups caused by leaking, poorly drained and improperly installed brick veneer and how it is often not sealed well at windows, doors and at roof edges. Stuffing a bunch of insulation behind the brick might make things worse.
