Darleen Druyun, former USAF weapons buyer, gets 9 months

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A former top Air Force procurement official was sentenced to nine months in prison Friday after admitting that she helped Boeing Co. obtain an inflated price on a $23 billion contract in exchange for an executive job at the company.

Darleen Druyun of Vienna, Va., had pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to violate federal conflict-of-interest regulations.

At her sentencing in U.S. District Court on Friday, prosecutors said Druyun failed a lie-detector test and was forced to admit that she helped Boeing obtain better deals on the contract to provide refueling tanker planes and other contracts.

“She did this as a parting gift to Boeing and to ingratiate herself into Boeing,” said assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Wiechering.

After failing government polygraph tests, however, she admitted that her conflict produced substantive benefits for Boeing in that she altered journals provided to the government to cover up her story.

1. Corruption

How can we trust any official not to do this? We can run down the entire list of this administration and note from memory which companies for which they either worked or will work.

2. The revolving door must end

Until it is seen as shady to flip flop back forth between public
obligation and private pocket lining, expect corruption.

Its the cheney/halliburton effect. I guess they went after this
one cuz she's a woman, and she's not senior enough. Following
the precedent, cheney should be in prison.

Even more impressive, would be to indict those who were involved
in arming saddam's regime, and those who foolishly trained and
supported osama bin laden, and those who supported the khumer rouge,
and... and... and.... american military weapons proliferation
corruption is criminal.

4. She worked for Reichmarshall Rumsfeld

Here he is in Baghdad sealing the Reagan/Bush secret deal to help Saddam against Iran.

The truth won't hurt you. It is treason imo.
