  Secret Military Budget - CDI Russia Weekly #224
By the way, the military spending structure dictates to Russia a foreign-policy course that is entirely different from the one proclaimed by the country's leadership.
It is not a secret for the West.
Besides, the veil of secrecy and lack of details on the military budget make it difficult to monitor the spending of its funds (the numerous scandals of the last few years are evidence that military budget funds are not infrequently misused).

 The Raw Story | Secret US military docs link Karzai's brother to drug lords
"The U.S. military today dismissed a media report citing intelligence suspicions that senior al-Qaida leaders were hiding in Pakistan and that the Afghan president's brother had ties to drug trafficking as being outdated," reports the Associated Press.
The US military says the documents, marked secret, appear to be genuine, part of a US targetting assessment produced in January of last year.
Incredibly the secret documents were bought at an Afghanistan street bazaar.

 NATO’s secret armies linked to terrorism?
The military secret services’ perceptions of what constituted an “emergency” was well defined in Cold War Italy and focused on the increasing strength of the Italian Communist and the Socialist parties, both of which were tasked with weakening NATO “from within”.
The terrorists, supplied by the secret army, carried out bomb attacks in public places, blamed them on the Italian left, and were thereafter protected from prosecution by the military secret service.
In Spain, the secret army was used to prop up the fascist dictatorship of Franco, and in Germany, right-wing terrorists used the explosives of the secret army in the 1980 terror attack in Munich.

 11/19/01 - Will Americans End Up Before Secret Military Tribunals?
Bush insisted, that the secret courts abide by "the principles of law and the rules of evidence" that govern every legitimate American court.
But the fact is that there is no reason whatsoever to hold such secret tribunals, and the real objection to them is not Sen. Leahy's flaccid grumbling but that these courts are one of the most dangerous threats to constitutional freedom in the last century.
Indeed, despite what the Supreme Court held in the 1940s, there was probably no good reason to try the German saboteurs in secret courts, but even then a legally declared war was going on and the defendants were clearly enemy agents.

 Cheney's Secret Afghan Visit
Cheney landed at the base at Bagram, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Kabul, shortly after a brief visit to neighboring Pakistan in which he told President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that al-Qaida is regrouping in the country's remote border area and that Pakistan needs to do more to confront the problem.
Cheney had planned to travel from Bagram to Kabul, likely by military helicopter, but a steady snowfall in the capital made that trip unsafe, and it was canceled, said Khaleeq Ahmad, a spokesman for Karzai.
Afghan and U.S. officials say that militants gather and train in Pakistan, then cross the porous border to launch attacks in Afghanistan, though Musharraf told Cheney that Pakistan "has done the maximum in the fight against terrorism" and that "joint efforts were needed for achieving the desired objectives," his office said.

 Secret Warfare and NATO's Stay-Behind Armies
SIFAR document of 1959 the secret stay-behind armies served a dual purpose during the Cold War: They were to prepare for a communist Soviet invasion and occupation of Western Europe, and – also in the absence of an invasion – for an “emergency situation”.
But there was agreement between the military secret services of the United States and of Western Europe that communist parties, and to some degree also socialist parties, had a real potential to weaken NATO from within and therefore represented a threat to the alliance.
Johnson advised Norstad not to use the secret armies to gather intelligence as they were not designed for this task: “While there is nothing in reference b [the CPC charter] which clearly forbids the CPC examining the various clandestine intelligence activities, I believe that this would be an unwarranted extension of the CPC activities.

However, preparing for a potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait is the primary driver for China's military modernization, and the focus is on reunifying with Taiwan on Beijing's terms, according to the report.
The report says the growth of the Chinese military is aimed at a "coercive" approach to Taiwan.

 The secret of military tribunals: they work
President George W. Bush and Attorney General John Ashcroft are proposing to dispose of the inconveniences of constitutional niceties and implement military tribunals in order to try, convict and dispose of foreigners who are accused of terrorism or of harboring terrorists.
Opposition to these military tribunals is not only a defense of the rights of the guilty (which Ashcroft would have us forget is critical in a constitutional democracy), but also the interests of the innocent who will be caught up in these sweeping dragnets.
The bitter irony is that military tribunals do exactly what they are intended to do—they take away our ability to protest the loss of our freedoms and civil liberties and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the elite.

The GAO, which acts as Congress' investigative arm, states in a new report that the military's direct involvement in Waco--which included the use of Army, Air Force, Texas and Alabama National personnel and equipment -- was lawful due to federal antidrug laws.
The report concludes that $982,400 of military dollars were spent on helicopters, tanks, a grenade launcher, as well as "Army Special Operations observers".

In the 1980s, fl-budget military programs went into overdrive, and their costs were considered a sacrifice to the national mandate of spooking and spending the Soviet Union into oblivion.

In "Secret Trial and Executions", Barbara Olshansky, Assistant Legal Director for the Center for Constitutional Rights, examines the Military Order signed by the Bush Regime on November 13th 2001, that effectively suspended constitutional rights for all non citizens living in the United States and subjected them to arrest, secret trials, and secret executions.
Secret Trials And Executions: Military Tribunals And The Threat To Democracy by Barbara Olshansky (Assistant Legal Director, Center for Constitutional Rights) is a serious-minded and somewhat startling examination of the Bush administration's "Military Order" in the wake of the September 11th attacks.
According to Secret Trials and Executions, this executive order and its call for secret trial proceedings in which charges, evidence, and verdicts never need be revealed to the public is a dangerous transition toward a form of totalitarian government which can tyrannize the American people at will.

Those who have managed to get close enough to the base to take photographs of it, have brought back many tantalizing images of the area in general, showing nothing more than a few hangers and other small buildings and surface structures.

The reasoning was explained to me by officials involved, and confirmed by key Southern members of Congress: if the integration program had become known while it was in progress, Southerners in Congress would have been virtually forced to publicly denounce it, which could have had a devastating effect on the whole effort.
On the other hand the military, to a general, defended the integration program in secret meetings with key Congressmen as being done solely on the basis Of military efficiency.
Although military efficiency was given as the official reason for the military's push to integration, as I dug deeper I found more profound motives among many officers and civilian defense officials.

 FindLaw's Writ - Dean: Appropriate Justice For Terrorists
Milligan had been convicted by a military commission of violating the laws of war by planning to form a secret military organization to seize an arsenal, release Confederate prisoners, arm them, and then join with others to invade, on behalf of the Confederacy, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois.
Crona and Richardson point out that for this type of crime, military tribunals, which are composed of a panel of trained military officers who serve as jury and judge, have many practical advantages over our criminal justice system, which was never designed to deal with war crimes or crimes against humanity.
Crona and Richardson write: "The pre-eminent question with due process always is, given the circumstances, what is due process?" They believe that military tribunals "provide the process due to those accused of committing terrorist war crimes." They would have the right to counsel, to confront witnesses, dispute evidence, and present evidence in their defense.

To be sure, of the scores of soldiers from 1st Chemical interviewed for this article, several spoke favorably of their work at Edgewood and defended the military's decision to expose at least 4,000 soldiers and sailors to dangerous levels of toxins in chamber and field tests.
Because the military destroyed or hid many records relating to chemical testing, the VA also said it would relax the evidence required to prove an illness was linked to service.
The military's use of its own personnel in LSD and radiation programs "demonstrated a well-ingrained pattern of abuse and neglect," the panel concluded.
