I think they're believably corrupt. In the old days we were okay with about 10% corruption in the states. But that was the old-school "bribe me to get something done" type of corruption. We've moved past that now and have more of a "we're only going to tell people we like what the true requirements are so only they will be successful in their bids" type of corruption. The problem with this style is it's hard to measure the financial impact. Maybe that's why we do it that way.
