From the Times:
“Conspiracy theorists love to speculate on the power and influence of the military-industrial complex in the United States, but the US Air Force appears to need no help in creating scandal.
Charles Riechers, deputy head of the air force’s multibillion-dollar procurement budget, is believed to have committed suicide amid controversy over his links to a defence contractor.”
....Pemco Aviation, another defence company, amended a legal challenge to a contract won by Boeing to mention CRI and its parent Concurrent Technologies. Pemco is challenging a $1.2 billion contract awarded by the USAF to Boeing for the maintenance of air-refuelling tankers. Reuters said yesterday that Pemco was claiming that Boeing had close ties to Concurrent Technologies, so there might have been a conflict of interest in the hiring of Mr Riechers. “
