    They don't need to fire a missile into the Pentagon to destroy records haha. They would also know that the response to this attack would kill whatever efforts there were to audit their budget.

      I mean it kinda did so I guess your not wrong. They essentially just threw their shoulders up and " I dunno" and that was that. Then post 9/11 created an environment where if you cared about defense budget issues your not a patriot.

        Yep. This was only a decade after the Gulf War, too, so the chances that whoever was concerned about an audit knew exactly what would happen to the budget during a war are 100%.
