Great Blogging/Reporting

TPM is easily one of the best things to happen to the political blogosphere in the last couple of years. A fresh example of why:

• ...the unredacted portion of the report finds problems with how Blackwater tallied its labor costs, its overhead-expense costs, and its indirect costs. It also found that Blackwater cited its profit from the contract as a cost it incurred, and billed the government for it -- resulting in what the report called "a pyramiding of profit."

Not only is Blackwater helping to send America's image to unexplored depths in tandem with an inept administration, it's defrauding the taxpayers at the same time. These folks are really thorough. No extra charge for that.
