Office of Nation's Top Spy Inadvertently Reveals Key to
Classified National Intel Budget

In a holdover from the Cold War when the number really did matter
to national security, the size of the US national intelligence
budget remains one of the government's most closely guarded
secrets. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the
highest intelligence agency in the country that oversees all
federal intelligence agencies, appears to have inadvertently
released the keys to that number in an unclassified PowerPoint
presentation now posted on the website of the Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA). By reverse engineering the numbers in an underlying
data element embedded in the presentation, it seems that the total
budget of the 16 US intelligence agencies in fiscal year 2005 was
$60 billion, almost 25% higher than previously believed.
