Excellent journalism. This is a model for the often used, but rarely carried out imperative "follow the money" (because it takes super dedication, patience and perseverence). If one understands and accepts the vastness of the body of work involved, and the resistance to access of the profiteer's covert data, Mr. Turse has provided a "benchmark". Be it impossible, in limited space and time, to address even a small fraction of the financial "black holes" in the military complex, Mr. Turse has identified a sufficient number of significant gold nuggets to justify a general conclusion about the clandestine pillage and plunderage in process by corporations at the public trough (the big picture). Mr. Turse' references and links provide details which support his assertions, show thoroughness, and demonstrate extensive sourcing. Since this is an expose' piece, the data and demonsrable facts stand alone. Fairness (i.e. getting opinions from the corporate executives, etc.), in my opinion, is not germane to the premise nor to any inferred or deduced conclusions prompted by the piece (however, I rated fairness, disregarding my bias). Huge problem identified, preponderance of supporting evidence is presented, and patterns of favoritism and abuse exposed.
