So, Just How Broken is the Defense Procurement Process?

Well, the contract for the Navy's A-12 stealthy attack plane has finally been officially canceled.

What, you don't remember the A-12? Dick Cheney canceled it.

Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney canceled it, in 1991, because it was late, over budget, and overweight, and the US Court of Appeals has finally ruled, 18 years later, that the government was justified.

18 bloody years.
