Mark Thompson of Time reports on a $55 billion mistake — the Marine Corps "new" combat plane that has been under development since the mid-1980s.  The plane has led to 30 deaths in the testing phase alone, and it is now destined for our troops to use in Iraq.  Thompson calls this a good example of "how Washington works (or, rather, doesn’t)."  See his story here.
