Catching Flak for the $170 Million Computer Glitch

There's nothing like testifying before Congress the same day your inspector general hands in a critical report. Just ask FBI Director Robert Mueller. He had to explain to Congress why the FBI's "Virtual Case File" computer program had to be scrapped after the government spent $170 million on it. The short answer is that it didn't work. He also had to tell Congress he had no idea how much more it'd cost to replace it. All this happened as the Justice Department inspector general released a report blaming planning failures and management weaknesses for the problems. (Boston Globe)
