"Who in their right mind would send 363 tonnes of cash into a war zone?"

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1

That's ridiculous! These wars are just fronts for money laundering & control of oil. It's only by coincidence that they can align some wars with some human-rights violation. Otherwise, they'll just make stuff up.

We need a revolution, there I said it. Go ahead NSA and add me to the watch-list. Nobody here doubts that you scan this site daily.

Well, there might be good reasons for having that amount of cash - but you can't help wondering what the processes and systems there were for controlling what it was all used for..

Edit: This attitude by a US general doesn't exactly come across well:

Q: "But the fact is billions of dollars have disappeared without trace."

Oliver: "Of their money. Billions of dollars of their money, yeah I understand. I'm saying what difference does it make?"

Dear NSA, please also add me to the watch list. I feel lonely.
