It's morning somewhere

Darleen Druyun is heading for prison for 16 months. She was an Air Force official who took personal favors for her family from the Boeing Company. The Boeing company received billions of US tax money during the ten years of doing business with the "Dragon Lady". The "Dragon Lady" nickname was given to her because she refused to be pushed around and she believed she was in charge - even toward her bosses.
For a decade, Darleen Druyun was in charge of deciding how much to pay for bombers, fighters and missiles used by the Air Force. Cashing In For Profit?
In all, Druyun’s taxpayer credit card racked up $30 billion in charges every year. She had a bigger budget than the Department of Homeland Security or the Justice Department.
In 2000, there was a $4 billion contract coming due for Boeing. During the time they worked out the deal, Druyun also got jobs through Boeing for her daughter and her daughter's fiancee'. Boeing got their contract. Boeing then wanted to lease 100 767s as tankers to the Air Force for 23.5 billion.
Sen. John McCain, who uncovered the Emails in an investigation of the tanker deal, had this to say: "Her job was to get the best possible price of the product for the American taxpayer. Instead, obviously she drove the price up to get the best possible deal for Boeing Corporation."
Druyun was going to retire from the Air Force so her daughter more or less worked out a deal for her to get a job with Boeing. She took the job in 2002. "Darleen Druyun understood the rules of the game, and that this discussion about employment was gonna violate the rules of the game," says Paul McNulty, the U.S. attorney in charge of prosecuting crime at the Pentagon. He told 60 Minutes Wednesday that while getting jobs for Druyun’s family isn’t against the law, getting a job for herself is a felony -- a violation of conflict of interest laws.
