Good point, Patriot Wes. The story is odd. SAIC had a stellar reputation for security. I am unfamiliar with their standing in defense industry software design.

The FBI found glitches in the software and negotiations ensued. Then the FBI hired an outside firm to get a second opinion and they told the FBI to bail out on the software.

That means $100 million dollars of taxpayer money gone, or SAIC owes it, or the FBI should give SAIC another chance. Except SAIC fell down horribly on security.

Who's to say that this wasn't the first security breach, or worse, that the break-in and theft of computers wasn't carried out by foreign powers?

I wonder why SAIC gets to talk to anyone but Mueller.

Up here in MN we remember an agent who prior to 9/11 called attention to the terrorist leaders taking flying lessons in Minneapolis and expressing suspicion that they "only wanted to learn to take off." She reported to her superiors in Wash D.C. (Guess who?) and she was ridiculed for reading to much into the terrorist actions. Well history remembers what happened.
