[Sigia-l] Mother of all examples

[Taylor, Brett]

My concern is; how did 170mil get squandered before someone decided the
system was too cluncky to use. Your right, heads should role and this
should be a clear indication of government waist. The sad part, someone
will come out with, it was all in the effort to make america more safe,
so we shouldn't think about the money, but that we're trying to get it
right.

If this was corporate environment, it would have never gotten this far

It is hard to overstate the seriousness of the FBI's failure in this
project.  Besides the fact that taxpayer money was squandered, there is
a very real risk that a lot of Americans are going to die because of it.
It is shocking that heads haven't rolled from the cabinet level on down
as a result of it.
