[edit] Revision as of 19:04, 11 August 2006

Why are previous discussions such as this one (below) not present here?

Why is there no link to archived discussions if previous discussions have taken place?

"His former entry in LoPbN reads

*Zakheim, Dov S., adviser to W; in Reagan admin; rabbi; CEO of remote-flight-control co.; coauthor Rebuilding America's Defences; comptroller of DoD

and not all of that seems reflected in the bio; perhaps research would verify the claims that the bio omits.

"Backup boys - I looked up this guy because someone said he was comptroller when $2,600,000,000,000 ( I think that is a trillion+) went missing. Was the $$$$$$$ ever found? Was he transferred without the $$$$$$$ being found? Maybe he found where it went - answers?? Where I read this I thought the writer was probably a nut - thanks for clearing that up - he appears not to be, at least got this one right. -- posted by Unknown/anonymous previous User

Some clarification please: The article makes reference (ref #2) to sworn testimony by the subsequent Under Secretary of Defense, Tina W. Jonas, in November of 2004 when asserting, "He initiated a number of processes that led to the reduction of that sum by two-thirds by the time of his departure, and to its reduction by over 99.9% within two years thereafter." First, there's a time discrepancy here if he departed in early-mid 2004 and she made this statement in 2004, how could this statement see into 2006? Second, the testimony in the linked PDF only speaks of business process initiatives and optimizations to implement stronger internal controls. There's no direct or indirect mention of the recovery of the remaining one-third of the missing $2.6 trillion dollars. AnkushNarula 20:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
