From the Associated Press:

A significant part of the insurgents' money is coming from sympathizers in Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi government is neglecting the problem, said the official, who was authorized by the Pentagon to speak on the issue this week, but only on condition of anonymity.

Why does the person always have to be anonymous?  Is this the Pentagon's way of making sure we never know what to believe?

Money is flowing into Iraq through Syria, the official said.
