FWIW, according to former deputy secretary of defense (in the Reagan administration) Lawrence Korb on MSNBC's "Countdown" last night, the money is actually going to governments that the administration believes will be helpful against Iran, but the administration has no control over where the money ends up. They may have an idea of where some of the money is going, in other words, but they aren't just handing it over directly to these groups with ties to al Qaeda. Minor nuance...
