A new Snowden release - black budgets
Time to sit down with a big bowl of popcorn. From
Pentagon Post:
Snowden Leaks Unprecedented US �black budget�
Leaker Edward Snowden has disclosed a breakdown of United States intelligence�s multi-billion dollar �black budget.� The leaked files reveal budget for the CIA is most expensive among the 16 intelligence agencies. Out of $52.6bn the budget for CIA alone is $14.7bn.
A report published by The Washington Post says two of those agencies hack into the foreign computer networks. The newspaper detailed the budget, but omitting several documents which are having sensitive details and US officials had expressed concerns.
The 178-page budget summary reveals the National Security Agency (NSA) requested for $10.8bn budget this year, becoming second after the CIA.
Since 2004 the budget for CIA has grown by more than 50 percent, reports Washington Post.
Fun times ahead -- not a peep out of the mainstream media on this story.
Wonder why?
