 | | In 1999, the DOD Inspector General reported "potentially significant liabilities" and pollution at U.S. bases in Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Greenland, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Panama, the Philippines, South Korea, Spain, Turkey, and other nations. |
 | | In 1990 the DOD Inspector General estimated that cleaning up U.S. bases would cost $100-$200 billion. |
 | | Concerned about secrecy, the military even refuses to admit host country environmental inspectors on its bases, and the GAO deleted base names and other specifics from its published report so host countries couldn't learn what hazards were found on their land. |
