Federal Bungled Investigations

posted by on February 13 at 10:41 AM

From today’s Washington Post:

The FBI said that 160 laptop computers were lost or stolen in less than four years, including at least 10 that contained sensitive or classified information — one of which held “personal identifying information on FBI personnel,” according to a report released yesterday.

160 laptops in four years? That’s pretty bad. And unfortunately, it gets worse:

The bureau, which has struggled for years to improve its sloppy inventory procedures, also reported the same number of missing weapons — 160 — from February 2002 to September 2005. Those weapons included shotguns and submachine guns, according to the report by Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine.

At the next White House dinner is Bush going to do a "comedy sketch" looking for the missing computers and guns?

Makes you wonder if the missile launch codes have been left laying around someplace.
