VAOIG REPORT-Faulty Computer Security Contract Cost VA Millions

Office of Inspector General report is here http://www.va.gov/oig/52/reports/2007/VAOIG-04-03100-90.pdf

Story here http://www.sanluisobispo.com/mld/sanluisobispo/news/nation/16982592.htm

The Department of Veterans Affairs backdated a key document and violated other rules as it pushed through a $100 million computer security contract that resulted in inflated prices and duplicate payments, according to a previously undisclosed report.

In the end, the contract turned into "an open checkbook" for various VA expenses, and the agency today can't detail the whereabouts of some $35 million in equipment purchased under the contract, the report by the VA's inspector general said.

How much longer do we have to put up with lies from Sec. Nicholson.
