New The GAO reports are here.
PDFs are [link|http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02124.pdf|here] and [link|http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d02125.pdf|here]. I've only skimmed them them myself. The second seems to be what Huffington's addressing.

If anyone's intested in this topic, it might be better to read the original report than to take Huffington's article as gospel. The second report doesn't sound (to me) nearly as damning as Huffington claims.

Cheers,
Scott.

New So fire TRW & Boeing and get another contractor.
And then get on with it. (Probably not Raytheon, though. I've heard bad rumors.) Accountability is what works.

Oh, and maybe some people should go to jail, too.

Truth is that which is the case. Accept no substitutes.
If competence is considered "hubris" then may I and my country always be as "arrogant" as we can possibly manage.
