GAO says DOD obscures weapons cost increases

Article Abstract:

The Government Accountability Agency (GAO) has stated in a report that the Department of Defense (DOD) masks the true increase in costs of weapons systems it procures by using an accounting tactic called "rebaselining". This means that members of Congress do not receive information on weapons cost increases in time to act on those facts.
