An incredibly irritating click-bait headline. Why can't they say what corporation has done corruption where? They could provide the essentials with fewer words.

Headline aside, I thought it was an excellent story. The company, Unaoil, is the least important point I took away from the article. I can't believe the fundamental connection between corruption and radicalization isn't reported on or discussed more frequently. It seems like the rise in extremists groups is blamed on the 'vacuum' left by an invasion or an overthrown government. When describing the gradual sympathy for the Taliban by "moderate, normal people" in Afghanistan: >"At the top of the list of reasons cited by prisoners for joining the Taliban was not ethnic bias, or disrespect of Islam, or concern that U.S. forces might stay in their country...At the top of the list was the perception that the Afghan government was irrevocably corrupt."

Oh surprise.

Corruption at the highest levels of corporations and government.

Forgive my cynicism but after a full lifetime of this nonsense and many years of reading about it through history studies, I just can't feel any other way.

Corruption is the only way things work in big business and governments. After all its people that interact there and people go after their own interests.

Just because we have invented different names for it like lobbying, doesn't make processes less corrupt.

Looks like this is the same story as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11388542.
