The Pentagon isn’t known as the Spentagon for nothing. Their penchant for paying too much for too little is well-documented. But apparently, the potential costs related to an internal study of their bureaucratic spending was the one price they deemed too high to pay. From WaPo’s Bob Woodward and Craig Whitlock: The Pentagon buries evidence of $125 billion in waste: “Pentagon leaders had requested the study to help make their enormous back-office bureaucracy more efficient and reinvest any savings in combat power. But after the project documented far more wasteful spending than expected, senior defense officials moved swiftly to kill it by discrediting and suppressing the results.”
