Stinger,
Ah yes. Remember back in the early-2000s when both sides of the Congress agreed that lobbyists (incl. those for corporations and unions) had become too powerful, and that reform was needed? Then we woke up one day in January 2010 to discover that, thanks to the Supreme Court, 'corporations were now people,' with the right to pump unlimited amounts of funding into campaign finance, despite 80% of the population -- from across the political spectrum -- disagreeing. And so the pork train rattles on.
Anyway, back on topic (-ish). Was interested to read recently that
Nigeria will be the next AW101 operator, taking a couple of the ex-Indian machines.
