Kiss Blair, fuck Britain. A few billion here, a few billion there (Forbes):

WASHINGTON, Nov 19 (Reuters) - The parent company of Airbus has told Pentagon investigators that any proprietary data shared by the Air Force with Boeing Co. in a U.S. aerial tanker competition would give the Chicago-based company an "unfair advantage" in a multibillion dollar U.K. tanker deal.

This would constitute "real harm" to EADS, and could also violate British law, a lawyer representing EADS told the Defense Criminal Investigative Service
"Dragon Lady" Druyun
in a letter dated Oct. 31 that was obtained by Reuters.

DCIS is an arm of the Pentagon's Office of the Inspector General, which has concluded that enough credible information exists to warrant a formal investigation into possible impropriety in the U.S. Boeing tanker deal.

Defense officials say the investigation is focused in part on whether Darleen Druyun, a former Air Force official now with Boeing, improperly shared Airbus pricing data with Boeing during the U.S. competition for mid-air refueling tankers.

Darleen, the subject of a recent post on her $5.7 billion scam, coincidentally also sold her $692,000 house to a Boeing lawyer.

Small world!
