Boeing Back in Running as Defense Secretary Reopens Air Contract
Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced today he is reopening competition for a fleet of U.S. Air Force refueling tankers. The decision comes three weeks after the Government Accountability Office (GAO) upheld Boeing’s protest of the Air Force’s decision to award the $35 billion contract to European-based EADS, maker of the Airbus, and Northrup.
Gates said he was putting his top acquisition official in charge of the competition. The GAO report cites significant errors by the Air Force that could have affected the outcome of what was a close competition between Boeing and EADS. The agency recommended that the contract be reopened.

Consumer Avengers Reveal the Toxic Truth: Unfair Trade Kills
In the 1950s, the movie monsters and creatures that threatened the American way of life came from black lagoons, outer space and atomic bomb tests. In the 21st century, there's a real-life threat to the nation and the globe—toxic trade that kills jobs and the environment—and it came from the "free trade" laboratory.
Today, a 20-foot tall "Toxic Trader" monster—gripping a lead-tainted Thomas the Tank Engine in one hand and wearing a necktie of $100 bills—marched through the streets of Washington, D.C. But before he could find refuge at a meeting of Bush administration officials, "free trade" lobbyists and corporate executives whose trade experiments spawned the job-killing, planet-poisoning creature, he was brought to his knees by a trio of chem-suited and caped "Toxic Avengers."
