9/10/2001: Donald Rumsfeld admitting that $2.3 trillion was unaccounted for from the Defense budget. Backpage story for sure. [VIDEO]

Another strange one is the speech than Rumsfeld gave about missing trillions at the Pentagon 1 day before 9/11, then completely forgotten in the face of increased military spending the next day. [LINK] [VIDEO]
