I wrote a recent editorial in the Perspectives of the International Association of Software Architects in which I discussed this issue in the context of U.S. Federal Information Technology in general. The editorial is called "Obama's Information Technology Priority"
Here is an abstract:
"Federal IT projects fail at an alarming rate. The total cost to the U.S. economy? At least $200 billion per year. This editorial by Roger Sessions is reprinted from the Perspectives of the International Association of Software Architects (January 2009).

A reprint of the editorial is available here:
