This is the best investigational reporting I have heard in years! Kudos!

SAIC is not exactly unknown, it's has, along with Beoing, the biggest defense contract after all, Future Combat Systems, it would 340 Billion dollars total.... I guess this should be the contract mention at the end of the video.
Fascinating find about its connection with government.

Interesting "expose" but I fail to understand what was really "exposed." That many people formerly in government were employed at SAIC at various times does not to me seem to be all that wrong. That SAIC was paid for its services seems somewhat natural, it is after all, a business. That it wrote a piece of software that did not perform the way the customer envisioned it would is also quite commonplace along with a follow on contract to produce another piece of software with different parameters.
That SAIC is not accountable to the tax payer is a strange accusation given that it is a private company, the government officials who granted the contracts are, in fact, accountable.
In short this particular production tells a story of two guys who were trying very hard to find something wrong, a waste of taxpayer money. It would have been nice if they had evaluated the company for any thing it did that had any value, but then they were not looking for that, were they?
