That would be SOP for the government as the deficit swells to new all time records.

The Administrators in the FBI had to LOVE the blank check and I would bet a boatload of money went to things that had zero to do with program....

I hear the money went into RF tags for all the tires on every FBI vehicle so they know the exact moment a terrorist drops thumb tac's on the road.

Here's the problem -- you have a firm, SAIC in this case, that develops the software in good faith based on the specifications they've received. It seems to be the case that the specifications were faulty. Is that SAIC's fault? Should they give back the money out of the goodness of their hearts? Don't think so. Now perhaps their code isn't the greatest that's ever been written; still, it was designed and coded to meet the specs (and _someone_ in the government realm tested and signed off on this stuff).

I spent 12 years of my life working for government contracting firms, and while I do not claim that contractors in general are saintly, I can also tell you that there are a lot of hard-working folks who try to do a decent job and are still demonized in the end.
