Anti-immigration group questioned about spending

[AlphaCentauri]

WASHINGTON The leadership of a civilian border patrol group is facing questions about how it has spent donations collected over the past 15 months.

Some members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps say they have no idea how much money has been collected since the group was created in April 2005. They are also questioning what the money has been spent on and why it has been funneled through a northern Virginia-based charity headed by conservative commentator Alan Keyes.

The members -- including one from Texas -- say money promised for supplies such as food, fuel, radios, night-vision scopes, and binoculars never reached volunteers manning observation posts to spot and report illegal border crossers
