Mccain still looking into Boeing

He would be well advised to do so. Investigative interest in this campaign to underwrite Boeing's flagging fortunes, described in one investigated e-mail as a "bailout for Boeing" that would "screw the taxpayer," will not soon fade away.


For that, we all can thank Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who doggedly has pursued the details of a deal that stank from the beginning.


The malodor only grows. Whether it results from outright lawbreaking, or simply the contempt for the taxpayers that so often has surfaced in multibillion-dollar procurement outrages, it must be fully aired.


McCain has pledged to demand that airing. Before he and an angered Armed Services Committee are done, more than a few in Washington's power elite may rue the day they ever heard of Boeing.
