The Pentagon acknowledged some of the accusations Wednesday night, saying honest mistakes led to its failure to notify Congress about the way it was spending money. The House Appropriations Committee, expressing anger and astonishment in a report that accompanied this year's military spending bill, which is scheduled to be debated by the House on Thursday, said the practice had eroded trust between the nation's lawmakers and military commanders. >> This is so funny. The military has been doing its own thing for a long, long time. To top it off, congress has been well aware. I don't know what's behind the current screams of "Oh, my goodness," but it's not because Congress has been taken unaware. The charades these guys go through to convince us "little people" (taxpayers you know) that they are all honest and above board is amusing to say the least.
