Why didn't favored Boeing win Air Force tanker contract?

EADS make the better plane. Plus, Boeing shot themselves in the foot with a bribery/kickback scandal. End of story.

The story is not over.
"The Government Accountability Office upheld Boeing's protest of the refueling tanker contract and recommended the service hold a new competition. The congressional watchdog said it found "a number of significant errors" in the Air Force's February decision, including its failure to fairly judge the relative merits of each proposal."
