GAO singles out 2 subcontractors on the system

WASHINGTON - The FBI and its contractors spent more than $17 million on first-class airfare, inflated labor rates, missing equipment and other questionable payments during the botched attempt to upgrade the bureau's outdated computer system, according to a congressional audit.

The findings by the Government Accountability Office expand the controversy surrounding the FBI's Trilogy program, which cost more than $535 million but failed to produce a usable case-management system.

The FBI announced this week that it would spend an additional $425 million in an attempt to finish the job. Two of the contractors singled out in the audit, Computer Sciences Corp. and CACI International, are subcontractors for the new system, named Sentinel.

The FBI and the project's main contractor, Lockheed Martin Corp., have vowed to avoid cost overruns.
