Investigation article on SAIC Vanity Fair /March issue
This is another shadowy company that has come to be, that is all about cooperative contracts. It reads of incompetence, dark individuals and all kinds of erroneous information orchestration. They are part of the office of special plans element. Lots of information to digest. Very informative.

Secrets
Washington's $8 Billion Shadow
Mega-contractors such as Halliburton and Bechtel supply the government with brawn. But the biggest, most powerful of the "body shops"—SAIC, which employs 44,000 people and took in $8 billion last year—sells brainpower, including a lot of the "expertise" behind the Iraq war.
by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele March 2007

1. Thanks for this one
Unbelievable article and I'm only on the second page. I thought I knew about SAIC, but this article makes me feel like a complete idiot.

2. I am on page 6 and am just in a state of jaw dropping awe
from the creepy hypocritical chauvinist head honcho down. I felt it was very important. I had to share this and will finish reading it this evening.
