Well, you bricked your history here...
In 2004 there was NO "competition"... the deal was a no-bid, sole-source lease of the KC767 without any consideration of any other possibility.
The "rules that weren't quite followed" were those banning conflict of interest, and pay-offs in the form of high-paying job positions in return for a crooked lease deal. It was a corruption issue, plain & simple... nothing whatsoever to do with the merits of the KC767.
