Government Studies a Study about Studies

From ABC News, is this a case of government being accountable or out of control?

The Pentagon was inundated with so many studies in 2010 that it commissioned a study to determine how much it cost to produce all those studies. Two years later, the Pentagon is still studying the studies so Congress asked the GAO to look over the Pentagon’s shoulder. The GAO found that after two years, only 9 reports had been examined and that the Pentagon could not  “readily retrieve documentation” for six of the reports studied.

How sad when a study of studies is a failure.
