Top USAF buyer found dead
A high-ranking member of the Air Force's procurement office with a mandate to repair his department's reputation died in an apparent suicide, two weeks after a newspaper reported he accepted more than $26,000 from a private contractor.

Good guy
He was not a loser, if you don't know him you shouldn't judge. It's obvious he was put in a bad place. This is a terrible loss for the Air Force. This article also does not include complete accurate information.
Al Yamamah
I'm sure the yanks will still want to investigate the BAE - saudi alleged corruption in a bid to ensure all corruption in future US arms deals stays at home...
