I have personally briefed this lady and participated in many meetings with her. She is a career civil servant who knew her business of Air Force procurement. She was refered to as the "Dragon Lady" when I was in the Pentagon. I am sure there are many that feel it is finally payback time.
No doubt a dedicated person; however, she stayed in her post way too long and kept the her blue suiters jumping! I think she got impressed with her position and power (read her own press clippings) and decided that Boeing was the place she should be. Power and position after a while tend to corrupt absolutely!
So what involvement or "culpability" might the General in question have? Or is he just an innocent bystander? Or is that usually an oxymoron referring to a 4 star? :)
