google/youtube rep. cynthia mckinney asking rumsfeld in open hearings.

I don't think it's disputed, btw. from memory rumsfeld has an aide come up and answer that the pentagon computers can't talk to each other so no one knows where the money went. soemthing like that.

I don't understand her questioning. She claimed that there was $2.3 trillion missing in FY99. The entire defense budget for FY99 was $270 billion. What does she mean that there was $2.3 trillion missing that year? The entire equipment inventory of the whole Department of Defense was estimated as $300 billion for FY06 (that's every plane, tank, ship, truck, etc.). How does the Pentagon in a single year lose 10x its budget and 10x the value of its entire equipment inventory? I'd like to see more detail as to what the heck she is talking about.
