as a side: this quote from BWL's link:

"The senior counsel for the Senate Appropriations Committee, then headed by Senator Byrd (D-WV) told me directly that upwards of $100 billion per year was going into so-called 'black' projects, including UFO programs, but that with a top-secret clearance and a subpoena power, he could not penetrate the veil of secrecy."

I am aware that much $$$$ is in these 'black' projects...so secret that the president can't find out the details. Now...once, the stealth bomber & fighter were part of this, and of course THOSE projects needed to be kept secret while being developed....but who is to say how much of that money is wasted? For all we know, they are trying to levitate the pyramids with linked dolphin brains! Or just having large 'black' parties with my tax dollars.
   Just because they SAY they need the $$$$, doesn't prove that they have worthwhile projects....but if YOU had the ability to get many, many billions a year by just claiming 'top secrecy', would you give it up easily?
