Congressional Scrutiny - Maybe

Federal Computer Week has an article that indicates some of the fallacies of NMCI may be surfacing to the people who hold the wallets.

A great, if short-sighted quote is offered from House Armed Services Committee showing that at least someone has noticed that "spin" and window dressing can only go so far. Addressing the spiraling costs and technical failures of NMCI, the committee expressed concern over "the enduring nature of legacy programs that a now mature NMCI was supposed to replace."

Perhaps the label "short sighted" is too harsh but we believe the cause and effect relationship that spawned this quote should lead one to dig deeper. The reason the legacy systems endure is because NMCI is not working correctly. Not working as advertised. Not working as promised. Perhaps this is self-evident to the committee and they did not want to draw attention to anyone's ugly baby.
