The Denver Post:  Since it opened in 1995, Denver International Airport has attracted some laughable conspiracy theories that suggest the sprawling facility’s actual purpose is to serve as the headquarters for the Illuminati or other shadowy groups.

While it’s fun to make jokes about conspiracy theories, more sober minds presently have cause for legitimate questions about big-ticket plans to remake the terminal. Yet DIA officials are keeping significant facts from the traveling public, Denver residents and even City Council members, who ultimately are tasked with approving any deals.

We’re concerned about DIA’s decision to favor a single team bidding for the terminal’s transformation — Madrid-based Ferrovial Airports and Centennial-based Saunders Construction — and to keep basic details about cost and the team’s selection process under wraps.

As The Denver Post’s Jon Murray reported recently, that information may never receive public scrutiny. What’s been provided to the council and the press is heavily redacted. This for a project expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
