$23 Billion Unaccounted For In Iraq | You Know What

Might be an over-exaggeration as some other sites have lesser figures. But besides that, the link claims a gag order on any discussion of the allegations. How is that possible, I thought the constitution in America allowed for free speech (I am not American btw).

Leaking sensitive information pertaining to national security in an active judicial case is not personal expression.

Ahh gotcha!

I wonder if they track how much cash is given to soldiers?

I have a couple marine friends who were handed $5k cash here, $1k cash there and told to shut up about certain things they did or saw while on tour.

Yeah sure buddy.... we all get handed cash when we land and are told to smile and convert to Protestantism....

Your friends are full on lying to your gullible ass.

Or they're guilty of fraud/extortion and are lying to seem cool. We had a couple guys in my unit get court-martialed for it (although I'm pretty sure they weren't dumb enough to say anything).

Just trying to get an idea of how this is possible,

Who would be handing out the money anyway? Doesnt seem like the chain of command would even make those kinds of bribes possible. 5k here? 1k here?

Did one of the 4 stars come around with a big duffel bag of cash, honking a horn in an open-top hummer, riding around the combat zones looking for war crimes to throw hush money at? "Yo you guys just kill some kids? Take a couple stacks of these ben franks"

Sounds like a Santa Claus fantasy of some sort. Gullible indeed.

Well, I believe it. The government personally paid me fifteen grand so that I would keep quiet about George Bush's monthly visits to my Arkansas midget brothel emporium. Five thousand would probably cover something less important, like murdering a nuclear scientist who was about to go to the press about the new breed of superhuman psionics they're working on under the Mediterranean.

and who gets to decide whether that particular piece of information could compromise national security?

In court cases the judge in many situations will decide this if a neutral party is needed.

Dumbass.

Usually when the piece of paper you're reading has "TOP SECRET" stamped on it

So just stamp top secret on anything and the press may no longer reveal the corruption?
