Okay, so the DEA is wasting our money by chartering planes for the Director when they have plenty of planes available. The war has only increased violence and corruption, weakened our security, wasted untold amounts of money, etc. The DEA seems to have a mission to find ways to waste our money, particularly if they can do it under the guise of national security. Witness the latest fiasco of the aviation division of the DEA. They bought three untested planes that for some reason had been grounded by another agency. After ten months of 'operation' the DEA has grounded the planes and is trying to sell the parts.
The DEA purchase of these plans was not part of the normal budget; it was part of the classified budget, the budget under which the CIA and who knows who else operates. There is no real review of this budget, yet it is not our smallest budget by any means. An interesting question is who decides what goes into this classified budget. The planes were to be used for drug surveillance. Should they be part of the classified budget?
