"Enterprise IT" and "Enterprise Management" are broken out as two separate categories for both the CIA and the NSA. Is one of those the asset spend ( software, hardware etc. ) for non-mission-tasked items and the other the personnel spend for people who keep the place going? And it would interesting to see a breakdown by category of how much is spent on outside contractors ( like Booz Allen Hamilton ) vs. how much is spent in direct personnel costs ( federal employees with benefits and pensions etc. ).

  I wonder how much of a picture of the outsourced parts of the black budget could be assembled by going through EDGAR filings. http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=BAH&Find=Search&owner=exclude&action=getcompany http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=BAH&Find=Search&... I'm not that familiar with deciphering EDGAR filings, but if you correlated it to http://www.usaspending.gov/ http://www.usaspending.gov/ and other sources... Who knows what you might find out. It would make a neat data-journalism project for someone; would that I had the time.

    The black budget is far far higher than 52B... I recall previous exposures on the black budget - and they were much higher... let me see if I can dig anything up..
