Seriously. This, “But Wait, There’s More” Crap has to stop. It does nothing but delay programs, increase prices and contractor profits, and get cushy jobs for retired generals.

The system is out of bloody control.

US Navy requests enhanced P-8A
System upgrade announced before baseline design set

The US Navy is seeking funds to launch a major mission system upgrade to its future submarine-hunting fleet of Boeing P-8A Poseidon multi-mission maritime aircraft, even though the baseline design for the modified 737 airliner will not be finalised until late June.

The navy plans to conduct a week-long critical design review on the P-8A from 11 June, to enable Boeing to freeze its design and start building the first test aircraft before year-end, says Chuck Dabundo, the company’s deputy programme manager. A one-week rehearsal conducted in mid-May went smoothly, he adds.

Meanwhile, the USN’s fiscal year 2008 budget request includes funds to launch the first of several planned upgrade “spirals” aimed at keeping the P-8A fleet current with emerging threats. The Spiral 1 upgrade request introduces new multi-static software algorithms to improve onboard processing capability for the acoustic sensors that will hunt for submarines from 2015, says Capt Mike Moran, the navy’s P-8A integrated product team leader.

And neither should you.

The Smoking Gun has copies of the Scooter Libby Love Letters – June 5, 2007.

One of these is signed by James Carville.

I don’t care if the only woman willing to f&^% you in the world is a conservative Republican. You don’t write nice letters about someone committing treason.

Libby, under the instructions of Dick Cheney, outed a CIA covert operative to get back at her husband.

I’m going for 28 months, and that the judge gives him 6 weeks to show up with his toothbrush.

UPDATE:

The overs win. 30 months, from CNN.

According to Firedog Lake, no bond pending appeal

As to bond pending appeal, Walton basically said no, but Defense can submit a memo. That is due on Thrsday, and then the govt’s is due on Tuesday, with Libby’s response due on Wednesday. If Walton decides against bond pending appeal after reading those motions, then it all goes to the prison system and Libby goes to jail in normal schedule, which would be about 45-60 days.
