washingtonpost.com — The U.S. military is dependent on contractors in modern warfare, and their are undertones of animosity between the State and D.O.D. over who should be taking more blame over Blackwater. But what really struck me FTA: Since 2004, State has paid Blackwater $833,673,316, compared with Defense Department contracts of $101,219,261.

Poor chap. All he did was say a trillion instead of million. Now he's getting flamed even though 833 million is still v v big.

Don't automatically blame the poster for his poor math - he could have been using excel 2007.

It's a sad reflection on Digg that this is getting dugg up... does anyone actually read the article (or know what a trillion is)?

People throw around words like Moron rather too much, when sheltered by the anonymity of the Internet. The guy isn't so hot at Maths, but don't be so rude.There's plenty of things in this world that are worse than being rubbish at Maths. Nothing quite as annoying, but plenty of things that are worse...
