*OUT OF WASHINGTON, DC came a report from U.S. Newswire that the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Treasury department agency, charged with stopping the transit of illegal funds to terrorist organizations, allocates more employees to tracking Americans for Cuban embargo violations than to investigating where and how Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein get their money, according to an OFAC letter to Congress. In the letter from OFAC to Senators Charles Grassley and Max Baucus of the Senate Finance Committee it was revealed that just four full-time employees were assigned to investigating Osama bin Laden's and Saddam Hussein's wealth while nearly two dozen were working on Cuban embargo violations.*
There are no dates or sources cited.......but, if this is accurate...........IT is scary!
