Department of Defense Accounting and Missing Trillions
A retrospective look at the Department of Defense's inability to account for trillions of dollars in transactions, a problem highlighted by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10, 2001. Whistleblower Jim Minnery and analyst Franklin C. Spinney are cited regarding "cooked books" and the lack of financial oversight. The Pentagon's internal systems reportedly fail to communicate, leading to massive unaccounted spending.
