Where has the money gone...$25 million more hidden by the military...
And this is not part of the "black budget" money nobody has a right to look at....
__________________________

TAMPA - Pentagon officials are investigating allegations of a second case of the Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base hiding millions of dollars from Congress in its budget. The latest allegation, Pentagon officials confirmed Wednesday, involves $25-million that Special Operations listed in its fiscal year 2004 budget, which took effect Wednesday.

"He's confident (Pentagon investigators) will look at this budget situation very, very thoroughly," Taylor said, "to uncover anything that has not been done properly so we can take the proper steps to correct any problems that we may have."

Pentagon investigators already had been conducting an audit, or a preliminary investigation, into how Special Operations - at the Pentagon's request - inflated budget proposals in fiscal year 2003 to "park," or hide, $20-million from Congress.

snip...

Defense analysts and congressional aides point out that the funds in question at Special Operations are not part of the classified budget, otherwise known as the black budget. They point out that the various oversight committees in Congress shepherd and monitor the intelligence budget.
