Darleen Druyun, former weapons buyer for the U.S. Air Force, checked into a special women’s prison about 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico in the heart of Florida’s Panhandle region this week, for a nine month stay, after pleading guilty to giving Boeing special treatment on an $23.5 billion government contract.

Pete's Points

We all know it goes on. We all see corruption every day. What gets my goat is the sanctimonious speeches we get from senior people in the US administration when the corruption is found in the bureaucracies of other nations and the head ducking when it is found in their own backyard!
