The Air Force -- already in a tailspin over the Boeing tanker scandal -- got slapped by a Government Accountability Office report on another Boeing deal.
The GAO sided with Lockheed Martin Corp and a pair of other companies in a contract dispute over $4 billion in upgrades to C-130 aircraft. The GAO report says "the Air Force conducted discussions in a manner that favored Boeing."
In the middle of those negotiations -- Darleen Druyun. She's the former Air Force contract officer who took a gig with Boeing -- but wound up spending nine months in prison for giving her once future employer an edge in winning government contracts. (Guardian)
