The $451 million project, known as Sentinel, has experienced cost overruns and was temporarily halted a year ago when more problems emerged. ... </b><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/fbi-computer-system-delayed-again-snag-202654710.html;_ylc=X3oDMTEwb2MyM2trBF9TAzIyMDM4Mjc1MjMEZW1haWxJZAMxMzI1NjE2MTgz">Full Story</a></b></font>
