Since when are faulty cost estimates a big deal in Washington?

Hehehe... it's funny watching things like this make the news. Anyone that deals with contractors at all knows exactly what I'm talking about.

They had to make a profit from the kick backs they paid to get the contract. I wonder how much Cheney made off the deal.
