Meanwhile, the Pentagon accidentally posted hundreds of pages worth of
details from its forthcoming 2005 budget on its web site. The Defense
Department had previously said that Bush would request $401.7 billion,
7 percent over this year.

Among the proposals it revealed - and quickly removed from its site -
was data on weapons procurement, research and development, military
construction, and operations and maintenance.

The figures showed that the request for procurement will be $74.9
billion, $6.2 billion less than this year. Research and development
would grow to $68.9 billion from $64.7 billion, including $2.7 billion
- a near doubling - to modernize the Army's armored weapons.
