...Also named by Le Figero: Thierry Breton, who prior to last June's legislative elections served as Economy Minister for the last conservative government. Breton is described in the AMF finding as having received a memo from an unidentified source in December 2005, warning EADS would be entering "a zone of turbulence." The memo to Breton also purportedly urged the French government to lower its 15% stake in the group before flying got rough for EADS, which would allow the state to "profit from the current value of shares, which incorporates only the good news of the last financial year...
...switches that could have doomed the aircraft surfaced in June. In March the Government Accountability Office warned that V-22s are rolling off the production line in Amarillo, Texas, and being accepted by the Marines "with numerous deviations and waivers," including "several potentially serious defects."

Orange does not deny the contents of the memo, but declined to elaborate on it, except to say in a carefully worded statement that it is testing the N81 and has not yet committed...
...Bush gets briefings on Iraq from his advisors. He gets intelligence reports first thing in the morning from his Director of National Intelligence. He gets updates from his National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley and his Iraq czar Gen. Douglas Lute.
