U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Named in FBI Contract Probe
Brian Ross and Len Tepper report on ABC News' "The Blotter":
The Air Force's highest-ranking officer, General T. Michael Moseley, and his predecessor, Gen. John Jumper, are the subjects of an FBI investigation into the handling of a $49.9 million dollar contract for the Air Force Thunderbirds, the air demonstration squadron.More here.
Law enforcement officials tell ABC News the FBI is investigating allegations the two Air Force generals helped to steer the Thunderbird contract to a friend, retired Air Force Gen. Hal Hornburg.
Six months after leaving the military, Gen. Hornburg, whose command included the Thunderbirds, became a partner in the company that won the contract.

Fergie, First time to the site, thanks for the post.
I used to be a Weapons Instructor and worked for Hornburg while COMACC, What a fat bastard. I also worked for Moseley in the CHOAS (COAC) when he was CFACC, biggest ego I've ever seen. The only thing about this story that's surprising is that it got reported. I wonder who they pissed off? Maybe Hayden was doing some "routine monitoring" and found a prime opportunity for the "intel-mafia" to take over leadership from the Fly boys. They'll probably just resign and walk away like others before them.
The gross hypocracy is discusting. These are our Leaders? This is exactly why I got out. Not enough honesty, too much politics.
