Tucumseh,
You're tending to assume a level of background knowledge amongst the readership here that I for one don't have.
What recommendations from the reviewing officer re the Tornado/Patriot BOI? In what context was the recommendation previously twice made? To whom? Why was it not acted upon?
I follow the thrust of your main argument, but a bit more supporting info would be welcome (without impacting libel and National Security laws of course!)
