Based on the GAO report the errors were made by the Air Force. Now they may have been pressured by the letters McCain wrote (some have claimed that the level of detail in the letters leads them to believe they were written by EADS lobbyists, several of whom are on McCain's campaign).

But in general with or without lobbying, if your congressional delegation does not get involved in a decision that moves thousands of jobs from their state to another and it the whole congress doesn't get involved when thousands of jobs are sent overseas, then what are we paying them for?
