Bernake Truth or Dare.

Is this a dare?

"We would welcome a review by the GAO of the Federal Reserve’s management of all facilities created under emergency authorities. In particular, we would support legislation authorizing the GAO to audit the operational integrity, collateral policies, use of third-party contractors, accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls of these special credit and liquidity facilities."  --Ben Bernake 2/23/10

Is Bernake actually inviting the government to audit the Fed?  Interesting tactic.
