It's just unbelievable what's happening in the US Congress:
Congress in turmoil over Air Force tanker decision - Yahoo! News
"Conventional wisdom was running so strongly against Northrop-EADS in some corners of Capitol Hill that Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison's office issued a statement late on Friday declaring Boeing the winner. It was swiftly retracted."
I don't blame her or her staff for the mistake because like I said earlier, the contract was Boeing's to lose!
