[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1389710, member: 45230"] The Government Accountability Office, in a legal opinion issued at the request of congressional lawmakers, said the Defense Department violated the law by failing to notify key Capitol Hill committees at least 30 days in advance. Further, the [URL='http://www.gao.gov/assets/670/665390.pdf']report[/URL] said the Pentagon broke another law by using funds that were not technically available. The GAO said the law in this case is "clear and unambiguous." The agency said that while the Defense Department defended the legality of the controversial swap, "in our view, DOD has dismissed the significance of the express language" in the law.
