Kyle:

For a group whose "existance is neither officially
denied or acknowledged by the U.S. government", they
appear in numerous U.S. Govt. articles & web sites.

e.g. See:
http://usembassy.state.gov/tokyo/wwwhse0871.html
where a January U.S. Embassy news release on
Afghanistan says:  "Special Forces is but one element
in the U.S. Special Operations Command. The command
also includes the Army Rangers, an Army psychological
operations group, an Army civil affairs brigade, an
Army special operations aviation wing, Navy SEALS
commandos, an Air Force special operations air wing,
and the ultra elite Delta Force."

and
http://www-benning.army.mil/Bulletin/files/bb12OCT01.pdf
where a Ft. Benning bulletin announces "The 1st
Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta unit
(ABN), 1st SFOD-D, will visit Fort Benning to answer
questions, make presentations, and accept applications
for duty with Special Forces Detachment-Delta unit."

and
http://clinton6.nara.gov/1995/07/1995-07-28-press-briefing-by-mike-mccurry.htmlwhere
 White House Press Secretary MIKE MCCURRY on July 28,
1995 announced a medal being presented to a retired
officer who was " involved in establishing the Delta
Force".

Still trying to remain low key, Delta Force's
existance is no longer denied.
