The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee threatened on Tuesday to begin withholding funding authorization from Defense Department programs unless the department conducts a financial audit.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) told a panel of Pentagon political nominees that he had grown impatient with years of committee appearances by DoD confirmation seekers who had promised to conduct the department’s first audit, only to see delays in the department’s audit plan.

The DoD should be accountable for the monies it spends. I think a good audit would expose a lot of ugly under a lot of rocks.
