The FBI's recent statements about Virtual Case File prompted criticism from U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, who said the FBI promised the project would be finished in late 2004 as recently as May. The 9/11 Commission, which released its report on the terrorist attacks last July, asked Congress to provide the FBI with the money it needs to update its IT infrastructure, Leahy said in a statement.
Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, called on the FBI to provide better information to Congress about its long-term projects.
"The FBI’s long-anticipated Virtual Case File has been a train wreck in slow motion, at a cost of $170 million to American taxpayers and an unknown cost to public safety," Leahy added. "This is a vital task, and now Congress will have to provide more funding to get the job done. But throwing money at this chronic problem alone won’t fix it."
