My latest, from Salon: “On May 14, at an industry conference in Colorado sponsored by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the U.S. government revealed for the first time how much of its classified intelligence budget is spent on private contracts: a whopping 70 percent, or roughly $42 billion. The figure was disclosed by Terri Everett, a senior procurement executive in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the agency established by Congress in 2004 to oversee the 16 agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence infrastructure…’We can’t spy … If we can’t buy!’ one of the slides proclaims, underscoring the enormous dependence of U.S. intelligence agencies on private sector contracts.”
